# Collect tax in Asia Pacific

Learn how to collect tax in a country in Asia Pacific.

In the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, Stripe supports tax calculation for businesses making sales into a range of countries. The requirements for tax registration, as well as which types of transactions are included, vary from country to country.

For each country listed, you can find information about:

- The types of tax Stripe can help you collect.

- The registration threshold that determines when you’re required to register for tax collection.

- What kinds of products or sales are subject to tax calculation.

- The types of transactions covered.

- Resources about how to register with local tax authorities.

Stripe can collect tax if your business is based in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and United Arab Emirates. To collect tax on Stripe in other listed APAC countries, your business needs to be a remote seller with no physical presence (such as a shop or warehouse).

## Threshold and registration for Philippines 

Remote sellers providing digital goods or electronically supplied services (digital products) to Filipino customers must register for VAT purposes if the total value of digital goods and services provided to private individuals in Philippines within the current year exceeds 3,000,000 PHP. Sales to business customers in the Philippines don’t trigger any tax registration obligations because non-resident businesses aren’t required to collect tax on these sales.

## Supported calculations for Philippines 

We only support calculations for digital products (non-physical items or services that are delivered, given, or rendered electronically) in Philippines. Stripe doesn’t calculate tax for products that don’t use a digital product tax code. If you’re a remote seller and sell digital products to customers in the Philippines, VAT is typically collected on sales to individuals. No tax is charged on sales to business customers (B2B) who provide their tax ID number.
