I think the penny has finally dropped with global tax stuff.... if you could confirm my understanding is correct.

#

So during checkout on SaaS app, prices are entered ex. tax in Stripe. Billing info is collected in SaaS and passed to Stripe to enable proper tax calculations.

#

So when the user is presented the Price + Tax during the checkout, my question/confirmation is.... is this price that is returned from Stripe Tax based on Stripe Tax Registrations? i.e. if Registered for Tax in Tax Jurisdiction X, then Total Price = Price + Tax, else if not Total Price = Price ex. Tax.

#

Have I understood that correctly?

#

Then Stripe Tax Thresholds basically then tells me when I should formally register for tax in the specific tax jurisdiction, and once I have done that, then I let Stripe Tax know by using the Stripe Tax Registrations stuff.

So prices in tax against the products are entered ex. tax

night linden
#

I'm not sure I undersand that sentence. Can you clarify please?

pliant stirrup
#

The Products that I have created in Stripe, the Prices against those have been setup to be the Price Excluding Tax.

#

So to keep this as a simple example, let's say I have global traffic. I have 1x Product, which has 1x Price at £10 (Excluding Tax).

Then let's say that I am currently legally registered for tax in 1x Tax Jurisdiction, the UK with HMRC.

And I have updated Stripe Tax Registrations so that Stripe knows that I am registered here.

So the question is, let's say I'm using Stripe Pricing Tables Elements thing, when a Customer from the United States tries to purchase, what Price would they see/pay? Would it be £10, or £10 + US Tax £2 (random numbers as an example)?

#

If it's excluding tax, it would be £10 + US Tax £2 in this hypothetical example.

pliant stirrup
#

Interesting.

#

So even though in Stripe Tax, I am not Registered with US Tax Jurisdiction, the customer is still charged the local Tax?

#

I was expecting you to say that it would be £10 at first, then Stripe Tax Monitoring kicks in, I then go and formally register for tax in the specific jurisdiction, then infom Stripe via Stripe Tax Registrations, then the next US Customer who purchases would get charged £12 from that point forwards.

Also, we are here to help with integration issues and I reccomend that you talk to our support team to confirm this as well since Tax is not our expertise.

#

I've not had any luck getting any sense from the support team on this tech stuff, only help seems to come from this discord chat

#

I've just had a read of that link you sent.

#

So then I guess my next question is....

#

What happens to that first £2, i.e. The Customer has been charged £2 in Tax, but I can't formally send this to the Tax Authority because I'm not formally registered with them?

#

This question might be outside of the scope of where you can practically help though, but thought I'd ask anyhow.

night linden
#

Yeah, our expertise is not able to assist here. You really want to push back on support as this is not an integration question.

#

The last thing I want to do is give you bad information

pliant stirrup
#

Yeah that's fine, I'll have a chat with some accountancy folk I know on this question.

#

The important question has been answered though, at least I know that the Customer will be charged £10 + £2, regardless if I have a record in Stripe Tax Registrations or not.

night linden
#

Yeah, that is a good call. We document this specifically: 'We help you understand where you might have to register, collect, and remit tax based on your sales into a state or country, even if you don’t have physical presence there.' which would be £10 + £2 and then, if the threshold is met, you get a notification.

#

I'm just having a quick skim read on this too

#

Looks like there are penalties for charging for Tax before formally registered.

#

Hmm. Something doesn't quite fit here with how Stripe is handling this.

#

This one sounds like it might be a proper Support Ticket to raise though

night linden
#

I highly recommend that you talk to our support team

#

They will have the expertise to unblock you here

pliant stirrup
#

Yes I'll do this, I'll send them this chat so I don't have to repeat myself. Hopefully they can help clarify things here.

#

Thanks for you help clarifying what you could though, always appreciated.
