How would you suggest to start collecting VAT from the EU subscribers?
Assuming there are thousands.

You can make an API call to enable automatic_tax for a existing subscription https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-automatic_tax

Thanks.
Separately, I notice that when I enable Stripe Tax with a registration for say, New Zealand only, in Stripe Checkout is starts asking US visitors for their address to "calculate tax". Is there a way to stop it from requiring US visitors addresses, since I'm only registered in New Zealand?
pallid zodiac
Sure, you can use the allowed_countries attribute (https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-shipping_address_collection-allowed_countries) to specify a list of countries where address collection is needed
outer goblet
It looks like thats for the shipping address only.
This is asking for the billing address of US visitors despite not having a Stripe Tax registration there. Is there a way to disable billing address collection?
pallid zodiac
https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-billing_address_collection but it doesn't have an option to specify a list of countries
outer goblet
Theres no option to disable it there.
Only auto (default, which im using) or required.
The address field only starts showing when automatic_tax (Stripe Tax) is enabled. Without that it only asks for a ZIP code.
Not sure why the address field starts showing as I dont have a US tax registration.
pallid zodiac
That's because Stripe Tax needs the address in order to compute the tax.
outer goblet
It already knows they're in the US though (it prefills the country based on IP), it shouldn't need the full address on top of that to figure it out.
I guess that's just feedback for Stripe Tax.
Hi, a separate question. If I have multiple Tax ID Numbers included in Stripes invoice settings, does Stripe Tax automatically include the relevant tax ID on the invoice for the location of the user?
@pallid zodiac In case you missed it
pallid zodiac
Hi thanks for the waiting.
The Tax ID is for invoicing , and Stripe Tax doesn't work with invoice at this moment.

I see thanks.
