So tax is not being calculated?

What is the behaviour you're expecting but not seeing?

[lofty salmon]

Yep

Its always showing zero

in case of automatic tax calculation

We are expecting stripe to calculate tax in checkout

[toxic jetty]

Do you have any valid tax registrations?

All I can see is one for state of Maryland in US, so unless your customer is from there we won't calculate any tax

https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering

[lofty salmon]

But does that means for other countries which are not listed in the tax registration you won't collect tax?

[toxic jetty]

Correct yes

That's how this works, you tell us where you need to collect tax and whenever a customer from that location makes a purchase we will calculate and charge the tax

[lofty salmon]

But that makes it limited to only few countries/states

Because i can see only a few countries in the registration list

[toxic jetty]

You can provide a shipping address to force the location: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/customer-locations

[lofty salmon]

Like India is not in the list

[toxic jetty]

Yep, we only support some countries: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/supported-countries

[lofty salmon]

We are collecting this from the user on checkout page

[lofty salmon]

so in case we want to collect tax from the countries then how can we do that

[toxic jetty]

Then provide a Maryland, US address and it'll calculate tax because right now that is the only active registration on your account

[lofty salmon]

because tax rates works when automatic tax collection is not not in the picture

[lofty salmon]

I will try that once

[toxic jetty]

You'd use Tax Rates manually: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/taxes/tax-rates

[lofty salmon]

SO is there a way by which we can decide on the go which to use tax_rates or automatic_tax_calculation

[toxic jetty]

I guess you'd need to determine customer location before creating the Checkout Session and if they're in an unsupported location then pass Tax Rates

[lofty salmon]

Ok got it

Another thing

Even if we use tax_rates or automatic_tax_calculation the end result will be the same while calculating tax

[toxic jetty]

I don't understand the question

[lofty salmon]

I mean even if we are using tax_rates or automatic_tax_calculation, the tax collection would have no effect

its just the rate that is being changed right

[toxic jetty]

What does 'have no effect' mean?

[lofty salmon]

i mean to say what would be different if we use tax_rates then using automatic_tax_calculation

[toxic jetty]

Well using tax rates means you manually need to apply the relevant rates for the session according to customer location and products, etc. The the underlying calculation is the same yes

[lofty salmon]

ok great that solves my query

Thank you
