## Threshold and registration for Peru 

Remote sellers providing digital goods or electronically supplied services (digital products) to consumers in Peru must register for VAT from the first sale. Sales to business customers in Peru don’t trigger any tax registration obligations as remote sellers aren’t required to collect tax on those sales. You must be a remote seller with no physical presence in Peru to collect this tax on Stripe.

## Supported calculations for Peru 

In Peru, Stripe only supports collecting VAT for digital services. In Stripe, these are referred to as “digital products.” To collect this tax on Stripe, you must be a remote seller without a physical presence in the country.

We only support calculations for [digital products](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-codes.md?type=digital) (non-physical items or services that are delivered, given, or rendered electronically) in Peru. Stripe doesn’t calculate tax for products that don’t use a digital product tax code. View the list of supported [digital product tax codes](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-codes.md?type=digital). To calculate taxes in Peru, make sure that you [assign a tax code](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/products-prices-tax-codes-tax-behavior.md#tax-code-on-product) to each of your products.
