In Connecticut, Stripe Tax supports calculation and collection of sales tax (including seller use tax).

See [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Connecticut.

### Sales tax

Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax in Connecticut when, in the previous fiscal year, they meet or exceed **both** of the following:

- A sales threshold of 100,000 USD
- A volume threshold of 200 transactions

The thresholds include retail sales, including marketplace sales and sales of services, whether taxable or nontaxable. The thresholds exclude wholesale sales (sales for resale).

If your **head office** in the [tax settings page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax) of the Dashboard is in Connecticut, you’re not a remote seller and you must register due to your physical presence in the state.
