hi there!
raw comet
hi
hot carbon
yes that's possible, let me find the correct link
here you can see some examples: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/custom
raw comet
do we need to register with local tax authority for all the 50 states in US as we are selling a digital product
hot carbon
for this types of questions you need to ask Stripe support: https://support.stripe.com/contact
or read this: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/how-tax-works
raw comet
is it necessary to incur a charge of $0.05 each time the tax is calculated? Additionally, do we also need to use transaction create API to create a new stripe transaction with tax and pay $0.5 for it as well? Can we bypass using the transaction create API and directly calculate and include the tax amount in the payment intent body
hot carbon
ths pricing for Stripe tax is expained here: https://stripe.com/tax#pricing
raw comet
so just wanted to clarify do we need to create a stripe tax transaction or can we just calculate the tax and add it in the final intent amount without creating stripe tax transaction?
hot carbon
if you don't want to use the Tax API, then the other option is to simply increase the amount of the PaymentIntent yourself
raw comet
So if we directly increase the amount and not use Tax API then will stripe consider that tax has been paid for this transaction?
hot carbon
no, it's just the total amount that was increased.
raw comet
Can we calculate tax without asking Zip code and billing address from the user and instead fetch it using IP (stripe doc says its not recommended)
?
hot carbon
(stripe doc says its not recommended)
where did you see that exactly?
raw comet
We recommend against using an IP address to determine the final amount of tax to collect.
hot carbon
thanks! well the doc is pretty clear: it's possible but not recommended.
