**About the team **
Collecting and filing sales & indirect taxes is a classic area for technology disruption.

We launched Stripe Tax as a new SaaS product in 2021 to help solve this pain point and make tax compliance as effortless as possible. The Stripe Tax Capabilities team engineers sophisticated solutions for our largest merchants, who face unique and highly complex tax requirements that differ significantly from smaller businesses, by automating their most intricate global compliance use cases.
