WooPayments itself does not contain any functionality related to charging tax on customer purchases. However, WooPayments does have some features that can help when you need to report your sales to your local tax authority.
We are not tax professionals; our advice only applies to how to use our software. For advice on what — or when — to charge tax/VAT/GST etc., we recommend consulting a tax professional or accountant.
Every business is unique, and we are unable to cover all possibilities here.
Important: After September 2, 2025 we will be adding VAT/GST/CT on all fees we charge for WooPayments services. You can find out more on our full fees page.
Note this change only affects transaction fees merchants pay, not how taxes are calculated on customer orders.

We have a lengthy guide about Form 1099-K that should answer most questions. Keep in mind, however, that the WooPayments developers and support staff are not tax experts, and as such, there will be certain questions we cannot answer definitively.
