Hi
Did you delete that tax rate? txr_1NscVlL7Q22muElKO1Xi7UNg
mint zinc
Nope, I don't think I have even made any tax rates I thought they were created automatically with stripe tax
severe schooner
No stripe doesn't create tax rates if you are using Stripe Tax
This request was made from your backend
And you made a request GET /v1/tax_rates/txr_1NscVlL7Q22muElKO1Xi7UNg
let's start from the beginning, you want to use Stripe Tax or your own Tax rates ?
mint zinc
So I got that tax ID from the invoice preview, and then I tried to look it up directly.
I am already using Stripe tax and my approach is working, but sometimes that invoice preview is returning a tax ID that I can't lookup
This is being used to display a payment preview to customers, I only have to display tax to UK customers though and that is the only tax I have configured.
Weirdly the errors never seem to come from Uk customers though

You need to double check your integration how or from where it's fetching that tax rate Id, as far as I can tell that tax rate isn't found
mint zinc
Ye so if you look at that first code snippet I sent this is all happening within a few ms of each other
The tax ID comes from the invoice.Upcoming I get it from the Lines Data
So stripe returns that tax ID in the invoice and the the code goes on to immediatly lookup that tax id and it isn't found
I formatted the code so it's a bit easier to read ```//Generate a preview of the invoice for the given customer and price
newInvoice := &stripe.InvoiceUpcomingParams{
Customer: stripe.String(customerID),
SubscriptionItems: []*stripe.SubscriptionItemsParams{
{
Price: stripe.String(priceID),
Quantity: stripe.Int64(quantity),
},
},
AutomaticTax: &stripe.InvoiceAutomaticTaxParams{
Enabled: stripe.Bool(true),
},
}
in, err := invoice.Upcoming(newInvoice)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get upcoming invoice: %w", err)
}
//Ensure there is data inside
if len(in.Lines.Data) == 0 {
return nil, fmt.Errorf(no lines in invoice for customer id %s, customerID)
}
//Get the last line of the invoice
invoiceLine := in.Lines.Data[len(in.Lines.Data)-1]
//Check if there is any tax inside the invoice
if invoiceLine.TaxAmounts != nil && len(invoiceLine.TaxAmounts) > 0 {
//Get the tax rate from the invoice
taxRates := invoiceLine.TaxAmounts[0]
//lookup the tax rate
tr, err := taxrate.Get(
taxRates.TaxRate.ID,
nil,
)
if err != nil {
zap.S().Errorw("failed to get tax rate",
zap.String("customer_id", customerID),
zap.String("tax_id", taxRates.TaxRate.ID),
zap.String("tax_display_name", taxRates.TaxRate.DisplayName),
zap.String("tax_country", taxRates.TaxRate.Country),
zap.Error(err),
)
// If we fail to get tax rate better to return the price without tax than hang forever
return &preview, nil
}
}```
This is all in the same endpoint as you can see, somehow, I get a tax ID and by the time I look it up it's either gone or was never existing in the first place.

OK I see, the endpoint returnds your own tax rates and not all possible tax rates:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/tax_rates/list
However you said you are using Stripe Tax and you want to dispay the tax rate
Let me check something...
Did you try to expand tax_rate when getting the upcoming invoice? with the same API call ?
