The following endpoint:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/calculations/create
Takes parameter line_items.tax_behavior enum (inclusive, exclusive)
When dealing with tax settings object you can apply defaults.tax_behavior to be exclsuive inclusive OR inferred_by_currency
https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/settings/object
Why can I not use inferred_by_currency with the calculation API?
Otherwise I have no idea wether or not the tax_behavior is inclusive or exclusive without mapping that out per currency

What happens if you exclude the line_items.tax_behavior?
waxen trench
It defaults to exclusive so in my current test case for GBP it should be inclusive

Could you please share an example taxcalc_xxx?

Why can I not use inferred_by_currency with the calculation API?
It's simply not supported: https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/calculations/create#calculate_tax-line_items-tax_behavior
One of the reasons (maybe not sure) is that the tax calcaultion APi don't accept currency within it's params
waxen trench
It does take a currency in the primary parameters though
https://docs.stripe.com/api/tax/calculations/create
Just not within line_items
rapid bison
Yes but not at the price line_items level

It seems to me that tax_rates might be a better option for my integration?
If my customer in stripe connect sets inferred_by_currency when doing tax_calculations I have no idea wether or not to chose inclusive or exclusive
Leaving me at the point where tax_rates might be more successful?

Hmm, well Tax Rates only work with certain APIs/surfaces so depends what it is you're doing

I am creating invoices with invoice line items
I would prefer to be able to use automatic tax but if I cannot specify the exclusive / inclusive without knowing per country then the tax calculation API kinda bottle necks me from getting to use automatic tax
halcyon moon
I'd agree that the calculations API should support an inferred_by_currency enum – will file that feedback
waxen trench
Is there a way to be notified on that or is it something that typically takes a few months to get filtered to the right API team
halcyon moon
I can take your acct_xxx to associate with the request, and that way if/when it's worked on you'd be notified
