A Smarter Way to Handle SaaS VAT & Sales Tax
Without Per-Transaction Fees
Stripe Tax charges 0.5% per transaction on top of their payment fees. PayRequest includes automatic VAT & tax handling in your flat monthly subscription—no extra fees.
Stripe Tax is great for enterprise, but the 0.5% per-transaction fee adds up fast for SMBs. PayRequest gives you EU VAT compliance, reverse charge, and VIES validation included in your subscription.
