Great! Thank you!

Yes, that guide is the one you are looking for. On top of entering the customer's country, you will have to enable automatic tax https://stripe.com/docs/tax/invoicing#enable

#

But yes, that guide should address your scenario

Thanks, looking ...

#

Is it possible to set all my customer invoices to automatic_tax?

#

As in, I think this is something I would want for all customers, always.

#

Unless there's some drawback to that idea?

#

Good question, looking in to it. Are you creating these invoices via the API or dashboard?

#

There isn't a way to set this for every invoice by default, but when creating an Invoice in the Dashboard, "Collect tax automatically" is on by default. In the API, automatic tax is not on by default but you can always make sure to set automatic_tax.enabled to true when creating an invoice https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-automatic_tax-enabled

Okay thanks!

#

We make invoices via the API or Stripe makes them as part of a recurring subscription.

#

Either way, I believe I can figure out how to update my code to ensure I have automatic_tax set in all necessary cases.

#

This was all very helpful. Thank you!

#

Glad that helped!

#

Keep in mind that for subscriptions, you will be enabling automatic tax on the subscription itself https://stripe.com/docs/tax/subscriptions#create-a-subscription

#

That will make sure that the subscription creates each invoice with automatic tax enabled
