Hi 👋 I believe this endpoint can be used to do so:

Larger guide for using that approach:

thanks but i don't need an amount but a rate. Do you think it's possible to get it ?

Is the value provided in the tax_breakdown.tax_rate_details.percentage_decimal field what you're looking for?
https://stripe.com/docs/api/tax/calculations/object#tax_calculation_object-tax_breakdown-tax_rate_details-percentage_decimal
gusty shoal
yes but i have to give a clientId and an item even if the client is not yet created. That is my pb
charred salmon
Are you having problems using customer_details instead of customer? You need to know where the payment is going to happen to be able to calculate tax amounts for it, and similarly the Product needs to be defined so our system knows what tax categories to check.

$this->stripe->tax->calculations->create([ 'currency' => 'eur', 'customer_details' => [ 'address' => [ 'country' => 'DE', ], 'address_source' => 'billing', ], 'line_items' => [ [ 'amount' => 10000, 'reference' => 'taxtestrefrence', ], ],
i used this and the response is 0 tax and a taxrate of 0 too

Alright, that gives me the impression the default tax category set for your account isn't taxable in that jurisdiction.
gusty shoal
ok, how do i change that ?
charred salmon
Change what?
gusty shoal
it is a test account
"the default tax category set for your account isn't taxable in that jurisdiction" that

So you want to change the default tax category for your products? That's done in your Stripe dashbaord:

I changed all the parameter and the tax amount is always at 0. Do you have an example of conf where the tax is not 0 please ?
charred salmon
I don't, it's dependent on tax laws for the category you're selecting and jurisdiction you're doing the calculations for. I'm not familiar enough with tax rules to know an example offhand that will generate a non-zero amount for your region.
If you think our tax calculations are incorrect and have supporting evidence for that, please reach out to our Support team with that information so they can investigate:
