## Threshold and registration for Uruguay 

Remote sellers providing digital goods or electronically supplied services (digital products) to consumers in Uruguay must register for VAT from the first sale. Sales to business customers in Uruguay don’t trigger any tax registration obligations as remote sellers aren’t required to collect tax on those sales.

## Supported calculations for Uruguay 

In Uruguay, 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 Uruguay. 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 Uruguay, 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.
