Hi 👋 if you're controlling the tax calculations on your end then I don't think you need to specify a tax behavior in Stripe, nor do I think you can without defining a Price object in Stripe.

Sorry, maybe I wrote it in wrong way, we calculate the price on our end but then we want Stripe to automatic calculate tax on price we provided.As far as I know, in order to create invoice
const invoice = await stripeFactory.invoices.create({ customer: customerId, auto_advance: false, automatic_tax: { enabled: true }, metadata, }, { apiKey: stripeApiKey, });
I need to specify tax_behaviour as inclusive/exclusive on price

You'll need to create a Price object for that then. You can do so in an adhoc fashion when creating the Invoice Item by using price_data:

And to create Price object I need to create Product object or can I do it without creating it? Its very important, I want to avoid it if its possible

#

Because after connecting price to product I cant delete it

Correct, a Price needs to be associated with a Product
