Hi there, the retrieveUpcoming would return an invoice object, and you'll find all invoice properties, including default_tax_rates in that invoice object

I thought that, but the default_tax_rates endpoint comes back as an empty array
{
...
"default_tax_rates": [],
...
"tax": 609,
"total": 3509,
"total_discount_amounts": [],
"total_excluding_tax": 2900,
"total_tax_amounts": [
{
"amount": 609,
"inclusive": false,
"tax_rate": "txr_1Njyy8J7i86GeQKl3UTiQFCT",
"taxability_reason": "standard_rated",
"taxable_amount": 2900
}
],
...
}
can you tell me what you want to achieve here? do you want to set a default_tax_rates when retriving an upcoming invoice?

In our checkout flow, I want to display the tax type (sales tax, vat, gst etc), percentage and resulting tax amount
I'm following https://stripe.com/docs/tax/subscriptions#preview-price to preview the calculation

Yes, but why default_tax_rates? Just so you know, default_tax_rates is for line items that doesn't have tax_rates set (see https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-default_tax_rates )

Sorry if that's confusing, it doesn't have to be from default_tax_rates, but that's what I found in the API docs
I was looking where Stripe returns the tax_type and percentage
for example it is returned in the tax calculation api: https://stripe.com/docs/api/tax/calculations/object#tax_calculation_object-tax_breakdown-tax_rate_details-tax_type
but I thought I wouldn't need to use the tax calculation endpoint when using automatic tax on subscriptions

Hmm, I think you want to expand the total_tax_amounts.tax_rate? the information that you want to get can be found in the tax_rate object (txr_1Njyy8J7i86GeQKl3UTiQFCT)
