Automatic Tax Collection on Stripe (Coach)

How to enable Stripe Tax to automatically collect VAT, sales tax, or GST on your FITR program payments.

Updated today

FITR integrates with Stripe Tax, which can automatically calculate, collect, and report taxes (sales tax, VAT, GST) on your client payments. This is managed entirely within your Stripe account, and FITR passes the data through automatically once it is set up.


πŸ“‹ When to use this

  • You need to collect VAT, sales tax, or GST on client payments

  • You want Stripe to handle tax compliance automatically rather than calculating it manually


⚠️ Before you start

  • You must have Stripe connected to your FITR coach account

  • Additional Stripe charges may apply for using Stripe Tax β€” check your Stripe pricing for details

  • Tax settings are configured in Stripe, not inside FITR


πŸ–₯ How to enable automatic tax collection

  1. In your FITR coach dashboard, go to Settings > Stripe

  2. Follow the link to access your connected Stripe account

  3. Inside Stripe, navigate to the Tax settings

  4. Follow Stripe's steps to activate automatic tax collection β€” make sure you press the Activate button to complete the setup

Once activated, Stripe will automatically apply the correct tax rate to client payments based on their location and your registration.
