# Collect tax in a country in the European Union

Learn how to use Stripe Tax to calculate, collect, and report tax in a country in the European Union.

Each of these countries is part of the European Union (EU), and applies the [EU VAT rules](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/supported-countries/european-union.md). The requirements for tax registration, as well as which types of transactions are included, vary from country to country.

For each country, you can find information about:

- The kind of sales and products Stripe supports.

- The types of tax Stripe can help you collect.

- Resources about how to register with local tax authorities.

## Supported calculations for Spain 

In Spain, certain territories fall outside the standard tax system and might have different tax rules. Stripe doesn’t calculate tax for customers in these regions, even if you have a Spanish tax registration. This applies to the following locations:

- Canary Islands
- Ceuta
- Melilla
