Automated sales tax calculation, reporting and filing for e-commerce — the most affordable and easiest sales tax tool for Shopify, WooCommerce and Amazon sellers
💰 From $19/mo · 🆓 30-day free trial · 👥 E-commerce sellers and small businesses
TaxJar is a cloud-based sales tax automation platform that calculates sales tax rates, files returns and remits payments across all US states automatically — acquired by Stripe in 2021. As US sales tax becomes more complex with economic nexus rules requiring businesses to collect tax in states where they have significant sales (not just physical presence), TaxJar automates the entire compliance process. It integrates with Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, QuickBooks and Stripe to pull transaction data automatically.
Who is it for?
E-commerce businesses selling across US states that need to manage sales tax compliance without a full-time tax professional. TaxJar's Stripe integration makes it particularly seamless for businesses already using Stripe for payment processing.

Watch out for
US-focused — Avalara better for international VAT/GST
TaxJar offers a 30-day free trial. Paid plans start at $19/month for the Starter plan covering basic sales tax reporting. AutoFile (automatic return filing) is an add-on charged per state per filing period.
TaxJar is the better choice for small to mid-sized e-commerce businesses with US-only sales tax needs — it's simpler, cheaper and easier to set up. Avalara is better for larger businesses, SaaS companies or international sellers needing global VAT/GST compliance. Most Shopify sellers should start with TaxJar.
