Payment Intents don't have built in support for taxes
How are you calculating tax currently?
Are you doing this? https://stripe.com/docs/tax/custom
we have created sales tax on our account and added it to our subscriptions but the issue is that for insufficient funds error, Stripe Documentation is suggesting authorizing a Payment Intent and then on success, either capture it or drop it and use our subscription method to capture the amount with invoice and tax rate.
The capturing authotized payment intent is not providing any tax rates which doesnt make sense for a user who needs receipt for their tax purposes . dropping it and use subscription has another issue. the problem is that dropping a Payment Intent is not refunding the credit immediately so if the user doesnt have double of the purchase amount as credit available we will get insufficient funds on the actualy payment.
Gotcha, one potential option for you is that you can add an invoice item or credit note that applies to the first invoice
Payment Intent has no Invoice.
So if the $5 auth goes through, you can create a subscription and add a $5 credit note. If you didn't have tax on the initial payment but do have tax on the subscription, it would charge the user for the tax then
Correct, the subscription would make an invoice and then the credit note would mean that the user doesn't have to double pay
