Hello there
No there is no real in-between like this. Either you use Stripe Tax where we handle everything for you, or you use Tax Rates where you have to know the type of tax you are handling and create the corresponding tax rate then apply it.

Can Stripe Tax do this for me? I would have no problem when stripe does this for me
tropic rivet
Yep for sure
lethal raft
How? 😄
tropic rivet
You say you are not using Stripe Checkout, correct?
Are you using Subscriptions/Invoices?
lethal raft
I am using Payment Intents
tropic rivet
Gotcha, then you want our custom tax API: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/custom

I have seen this guide, but it does not say anything about b2b, does it?
To make this clear, Stripe Tax itself would work completely fine. Just for business customers this doesnt work out, since I need to provide a tax tax_id, which requires a vat_type that I can tell by just looking at the provided id
tropic rivet
Ah sorry I misunderstood
So yeah, the type of the tax ID is something you would have to collect from your customer in this case.
lethal raft
Even the tax type?
tropic rivet
Yes we can't automatically determine the type based on the value provided. You have to set that.

Okay I see, thank you very much 🙂
Do you know any project, that has implemented this yet?
tropic rivet
Yes it has been implemented but I couldn't point you towards anything specific
lethal raft
I see. Do you know how it was implemented? Via a dropdown of all available tax types eg?
tropic rivet
I think it mostly depends on your customer-base.
Like some folks know that all of their customers are from one location
So they know the type of tax ID they are working with.
Otherwise yes, I think they have a dropdown that forces the customer to indicate which type, and they add some validation to ensure the formatting aligns with that type.

Okay, got it! Thank you very much once again! ❤️

Sure thing!
