If you're using Stripe tax, taxes will be calculated based on product tax categories for jurisdictions where you're registered to collect

You can review set up here: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/set-up

well the tax will be different depending on the location of the event selling, it wont just be a fixed rate for every transaction.

for exmaple, a user is purchasing a ticket for an event in Illinois, I need to retrieve a tax rate / tax amount from stripe for that location?

The calculation is driven by the customer location: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/faq#calculating-tax

For events, the taxes will depend on the Venue location, not the customer (i.e. the Venue is the nexus) - I don't think Stripe has direct support for that?

thats what i thought, but i figured stripe would surely have support for retrieving tax information given the location.

ill need to find the tax rate for each state that events are operating and store it in my own db

(IANA Accountant but tax rates, at least in the US, can vary down to the building level - not just State level)

Gotcha ok it sounds like this exact use case might not be supported yet, and for now you may need to manage your tax rates

I'd recommend writing in to our support team with your use case here: https://support.stripe.com/contact
