See [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania when, in the previous calendar year, they meet or exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD. The threshold includes gross sales. The threshold excludes marketplace sales if the marketplace provider collects tax on behalf of sellers. If your **head office** in the [tax settings page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/tax) of the Dashboard is in Pennsylvania, you’re not a remote seller and you must register due to your physical presence in the state. ### Other taxes We also support calculation and collection of Amusement and Admissions taxes in many [Pennsylvania local jurisdictions](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md?registrationTypeRegion=united-states&state=PA#registration-types). These taxes apply to participant and spectator based entertainment, recreational, athletic, or diversion activities. 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 Pennsylvania at the [tax authority](https://www.revenue.pa.gov/TaxTypes/SUT/Pages/default.aspx). Customers in the city of Philadelphia or Allegheny county owe use tax on purchases from remote sellers outside those locations. If you’re a remote seller you can voluntarily collect and remit these local taxes on their behalf. You’ll be able to indicate whether you want to collect these local taxes as part of adding your registration to Stripe. Read our guide to [navigate sales tax registration](https://stripe.com/guides/sales-tax-registration-process-us) for help. You can also use [Stripe to register](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) on your behalf. After registering, [add your registration](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md#track-your-registrations-in-the-tax-dashboard) in the [Stripe Dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/registrations?location=us-pa) to start collecting tax on your transactions in Pennsylvania. You must add registrations for types other than sales tax, such as the Philadelphia Amusement Tax, as separate registrations in Stripe. ## 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 Pennsylvania and your head office is also in Pennsylvania, Stripe applies tax based on your head office, depending on the type of product or service you sell. Sellers based in the city of Philadelphia or in Allegheny County have the local tax calculated automatically. If you’re a remote seller and selected the local taxes for Philadelphia and Allegheny County, then Stripe calculates and collects that additional tax. You can change that by editing the tax registration in your Dashboard. ## Report and file your taxes Stripe provides reports of your completed tax transactions. Go to [Locations](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations) to access these reports. ### 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). ### 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 Pennsylvania filing requirements. You have the option to report on an annual, semiannual, quarterly, or monthly basis. Reporting-specific considerations: - You’ll only see amounts under Allegheny county and Philadelphia city sections if you chose to voluntarily collect local taxes or have a head office in these jurisdictions. ### Filing Stripe Tax has filing partners—Taxually, Marosa, and Hands-off Sales Tax (HOST)—to help automate your tax filing. These partners automatically sync your tax transaction data in real time, eliminating the need for manual data entry or file transfers.
