Default tax rates on the invoice are here.
this is the line item you can see that the tax is 0% but the invoice still seems to apply the tax on the invoice rather than the invoice line item only

Hi, from the screenshot you've provided it looks like it's correctly capturing the 0% tax here:
hollow shell
it is
but then below its charging 1.11 which is the tax on the invoice
I have no idea what its coming up with for the 8.57
hazy oracle
That is from the $60 charge
hollow shell
so the tax on the amount couponed isn't including the tax?
the subtotal of the invoice is $10
why would the tax on the non subtotal value be taxed?
hazy oracle
Here is the document that talks about why: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/taxes/tax-rates#discounts
hollow shell
right but how does that make any sense? if somethign is $60 and has a tax of $8, how can the tax on the item then be taxed?
that seems so beyond confusing
hazy oracle
Can you share the invoice id with me? Or the request id that created this invoice? Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

like I am trying to make sense of this.
I create an invoice for $60, I discount it $60, stripe then taxes 30% on the diff between $60 and $60 + 13% tax?
req_r37zjPauwu4GP6
thats the request id for applying the discount
req_lRGToCK6O5qFQG
thats the request id for paying the invoice
hazy oracle
Thank you
The discount is being applied to the entire invoice and just the first invoice item.
hollow shell
OK what does that mean?
hazy oracle
let me type out more context
hollow shell
are you saying this would work correctly if the discoutn is on the actual line item/product vs the invoice?
hazy oracle
yes, exactly. When you create the coupon, you apply the discount to a specific product: https://stripe.com/docs/api/coupons/create#create_coupon-applies_to

OK thanks I think I got it working appreciate the help again, you rock
req_7auD3xgErQI0TE
looks right to me?
hazy oracle
Yeap!
