The VAT charge is applied in addition to Stripe’s product and service fees.You will be provided with a monthly tax invoice for the VAT that is charged on your Stripe fees. You can learn more about tax invoices here.
What are my withholding tax (WHT) obligations?
The fees for Stripe’s services may attract 3% WHT. Hence, Stripe pays an additional amount of 3% of the monthly invoice amount (before VAT) to you. This ensures you do not have to use your own cash flow to complete this payment and then claim this amount back from Stripe at a later date.
You are responsible for remitting this amount to the Revenue Department and issuing a WHT certificate to Stripe.
