Collect tax from Delaware

When to register for tax collection

Delaware doesn’t have a general state or local sales tax. This means you won’t see an option to add your registration for Delaware to Stripe and collect taxes from your customers based in Delaware.

However Delaware does impose other taxes on businesses, including a gross receipts tax. Learn more about the taxes that apply in Delaware at the tax authority.

If you’re a business based in Delaware you could still have tax obligations based on sales to customers in other locations.
