Hi there, https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/tax-ids#supported-tax-id you can refer to this page to learn the supported tax ID type for each country

Hey, taking over here. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

If the mapping "country" - "taxId type" is known, why doesn't stripe do this?

Or at least provide API to programatically assign type from supplied country.

[cosmic blaze]

This can be handled by Stripe if you set automatic tax and use Checkout Session for example:
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/taxes

[cosmic blaze]

If you want to manage taxes by your integration, you need to implement this on your end.

So there is no alternative to this in the API - we'd need to send customer to the Checkout UI if we wanted to use this.

You can also use APIs with autoamtic taxes, you need to collect the customer address or its Ip:

OK, I'll discuss further internally and get back if we have any further questions. Thanks.
