# Tax Compliance

## Stripe MCP Setup

Requires **Stripe MCP** (https://docs.stripe.com/mcp). `GetMcpTools` before `CallMcpTool`. Paginate all lists (`limit: 100`, `starting_after` while `has_more`). Amounts in **cents**. Read-only for audits; confirm before writes.

## Workflow

1. `GetTaxSettings` -- is automatic tax enabled? default behavior?
2. Check subscriptions/invoices for `automatic_tax.enabled` and `tax` amounts
3. Identify countries with sales but no tax collected -> possible nexus gap

## Checklist

- [ ] Stripe Tax enabled (Dashboard -> Tax)
- [ ] Registrations added for nexus countries/states
- [ ] Products have tax codes
- [ ] Checkout has automatic tax enabled
- [ ] Prices marked tax-inclusive or exclusive intentionally

## Output Template

```

Tax collected ([period]): $[X]

Use `search_stripe_documentation` for country-specific thresholds. Not legal/tax advice -- recommend an accountant for registration decisions.
