#

my guess here is that tax_percent is likely exclusive, but your prices are inclusive

uncut dagger Oct 29, 2024, 4:29 AM

#

Hrmmm. What do you mean by that, the tax percent is a number, so I would just assume it works backwards. Like say I pass $10 up, with a tax percent of 20 it would go tax is 1.66

#

but is your tax inclusive or exclusive?

uncut dagger Oct 29, 2024, 4:30 AM

#

tax_behavior is set to inclusive.

#

I might be missing something here

tame barn Oct 29, 2024, 4:31 AM

#

if you create a price with tax_behavior set to exclusive, does that work without any errors?

uncut dagger Oct 29, 2024, 4:31 AM

#

It would then calculate the tax for me, which is not my desired behavior due to final pricing between our system and stripe on edge cases being differnet

#

lets backtrack a bit first, to answer my original question, it works fine if you create a price with tax_behavior set to exclusive?

uncut dagger Oct 29, 2024, 4:32 AM

#

Yeah that was the original behavior.

#

Actually I lie, it was unspecified, but stripe was adding tax ontop of the given price, so I assume it was treating it as exclusive

#

okay so, tax_percent has been deprecated since API v2020-08-27 so I'm not familiar with how it behaves off the top of my head. This is just my hypothesis right now - tax_percent by default is exclusive. There's no way to set it to inclusive, and tax_percent doesn't take into account whether the price's tax is inclusive/exclusive.

#

does that make sense so far?

#

i think you'll want to look into using tax rates instead where you can explicitly define if the tax is inclusive / exclusive. Tax rates replace tax_percent : https://docs.stripe.com/billing/taxes/tax-rates

Tax rates

Learn how to collect and report taxes with tax rate objects.

uncut dagger Oct 29, 2024, 4:41 AM

#

Ahhh I see, so you reckon the two properties are incompabtible and it's one or the other in the older API's.

Yeah I know it's quite old, I could only really find docs around the newer tax rates object

#

Yeah sweet, I'll have a look into that. Thanks for the help.
