Collect tax in New York

When to register for tax collection

See Thresholds to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in New York. 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.

Sellers that meet both the sales and transaction number thresholds must register for a New York sales tax permit, collect sales tax on sales that ship into New York, and remit that sales tax to the state. The increase from the prior threshold of 300,000 USD for businesses that have no physical presence in New York is effective retroactively to June 21, 2018. The increase for marketplace providers is effective retroactively to June 1, 2019.

Stripe considers that you crossed the threshold if either one of the specified conditions are met (total revenue or number of transactions).

Threshold: 500,000 USD and more than 100 transactions

Period: Last four quarters

Included transactions: Gross receipts from sales of tangible personal property

Effective date: July 21, 2018
