## When to register for tax collection

In Missouri, Stripe Tax supports the calculation and collection of sales tax (including seller use tax) and additional tax types.

See the [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Missouri. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the [monitoring tool works](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/monitoring.md).

### Sales tax

Remote sellers must register to collect and remit sales tax in Missouri when, in the previous or current calendar year, they exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD.

The threshold includes taxable sales of tangible personal property. The threshold excludes sales of services, nontaxable sales of tangible personal property, and wholesale sales (sales for resale).

A remote seller that sells only through a marketplace doesn’t have to register. However, when a seller sells both independently and through a marketplace, their marketplace sales count toward the threshold.

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

### Other taxes

Stripe Tax also supports the calculation and collection of Parking tax in the city of St. Louis. This tax applies to parking a vehicle in a space on a public street or within a commercial lot or garage. Stripe doesn’t include transactions for this tax in its threshold monitoring.

## Register to collect tax

If you’re a remote seller, [Stripe can register with the local tax authorities](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) for you.

Register for sales tax in Missouri at the [tax authority](https://dor.mo.gov/taxation/business/tax-types/sales-use/). Read more about registering for [sales tax in the US](https://stripe.com/guides/sales-tax-registration-process-us).

After you register to collect tax in Missouri, go to [Registrations](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/registrations?location=us-mo) to add your registrations to Stripe in the Dashboard. This turns on tax calculation and collection in Stripe for your transactions in Missouri.

Learn [how to add your registration](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md#track-your-registrations-in-the-tax-dashboard) in the Dashboard.

## How we calculate taxes

If your [head office](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/set-up.md#head-office) is in the US and differs from your customer’s state, Stripe always calculates tax based on your customer’s location.

If your customer is in Missouri and your head office is also in Missouri, Stripe applies tax based on your head office, depending on the type of product or service you sell.

## Report and file your taxes

Stripe can automatically [file for you](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/file-with-stripe.md). Alternatively, use [Locations](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations) in the Dashboard to review reports and file on your own.

### Filing

In Missouri, you can [file with Stripe](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/file-with-stripe.md) to automate US sales tax filing from the Stripe Dashboard. You can also choose to file using one of Stripe Tax’s filing partners—Taxually, Marosa, and Hands-off Sales Tax (HOST). These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers. Learn more about [tax filing](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/filing.md).

### Location reports

[Location reports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#us-location-reports) offer a summary of transaction and refund data for specific US locations and align with Missouri filing requirements. You have the option to report on an annual, quarterly, or monthly basis.

### Exports

The tax transaction data export provides a comprehensive and aggregated view of transactions by location, including a breakdown of individual tax amounts. Learn more about [tax reporting exports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md#exports).
