Unfortunately no. Terminal is a bit more limited in scope and it sounds like you've found a few of the bigger differences between it and Checkout.

Okay, I suppose what is the recommended way to handle sales tax using the terminal?

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

tough trellis
#

Sounds good, thank you

We don't have a specific recommendation for how to handle tax with Terminal. Basically you calculate tax however you want on your end, add it to the total, then supply the final total to Terminal to collect payment.

Okay, is there a way I can use Stripe's automatic tax calculation so it gets flagged correctly in the transaction? For example, if I have a charge (not sure if the payment intent ID is safe to share here or not, so I'll exclude for now unless you request it) that goes through Stripe Checkout it shows the breakdown under "Automatic Tax Collection", and this is associated with a payment intent, so I'd assume there would be some way to handle this through a standalone payment intent that will get forwarded to a stripe terminal reader, or is this not correct?

#

I assume that sales tax calculation also effects stripe's fees in some way

Okay, that's unfortunate. Do you know if there are any plans to bring stripe's terminal support to be more in line to what stripe checkout supports for things like products, sales tax, etc?

#

I can't really comment on future plans or anything like that, sorry. I can flag that internally as a feature request though.

Okay thanks. One final question. For sales tax handled through stripe checkout - is that sales tax money added into the stripe account just like any other payment so the account is responsible for handling paying the taxes to relevant states / governments, or does Stripe handle that separately?

We're using this through Stripe Connect, and only one of our connect accounts has asked us to handle sales tax for them, so just want to make sure i can give them the correct information, and know whether they should be handling payments done through Checkout separately for ones made in person with the terminals, or if it's roughly the same where they're ultimately responsible for the sales tax that is collected

#

and please do flag that as a feature request if you are able, that would be very helpful if it were ever added

#

The total for the transaction goes into the Stripe account, and then reporting is used to explain what was collected and how everything breaks down: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports

#

Feature request filed!

tough trellis
#

Okay perfect, and is there a way on the payment intent I can specify that $X was for sales tax so it shows up in that report?

lilac shoal
#

No, Payment Intents are low-level payment objects that are not aware of tax. If you use our Tax API those calculations and transactions are shown in the reports mentioned, though.

tough trellis
#

Okay, thank you. Is this report available through stripe connect express accounts in some way, or is it something we would need to provide to them through the API separately?

Okay, thank you!
