We're not experts on tax rates and calculations here. Do you know if the client wants to use Stripe Tax (and have us calculate tax automatically) or if they want to programmatically calculate tax themselves based on those rules?

as long as it works how the client wants would be fine
wise iris
I recommend starting here and testing with Stripe Tax first: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/taxes
If Stripe Tax won't allow for such granular tax rules, you may have to use tax rates or calculate tax outside of Stripe

by the way we have subscriptions and one time products
the only thing I want to know if it possible not to charge business customers any tax outside of NL?
wise iris
I'm not sure about that. Whether or not to charge tax ultimately depends on the client's tax obligations and the kinds of services they're selling/providing.

the client said she cannot charge customers outside of netherland if they are businesses because busness will pay taxes to their government, if she charges them she cannot pay those taxes on behalf of them so far that case she would want reverse charges, however, she would like to charge the non business customers tax because NL government said so, so if business and outside of netherland no taxes else she charge taxes.
wondering if it is possible to achieve via stripe automatic taxes or tax rates

EU Stripe Tax calculation details are outlined here: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/regional-calculation#eu-vat
I recommend starting here and, if you have any other tax-specific questions, reaching out to our Support team: https://support.stripe.com/contact/

so, we need to enable tax by region?

Hi 👋
I'm stepping in as @wise iris needs to go. So it sounds like you want some pretty precise logic on what tax to apply when
The difficulty here is that you would need to know before creating the Checkout Session where the Customer lived (to determine what Tax rates to apply). Is that something you know?
tawny sonnet
the problem is we know that we customer selects the country on checkout
crystal spindle
In that case I don't think you can use Tax Rates since those would need to be applied when creating the Checkout Session

Can we disable country selection on checkout so we can prepopulate it and make sure customer cannot change it?
