hi! hmm do you have an example of the tax you're talking about? are you referring to tax that you as the merchant model on your charge(like sales tax) or the tax/VAT that Stripe applies to the fee itself?

Check this screenshot, I want the tax to be calculated only on $100 not on the $103.30 ($3.30 is processing fee I added separately as an invoice item)
onyx pivot
I see. That's not really possible, tax is always calculated on the subtotal of the Invoice
orchid sable
Even if I added it separately as in before creating this subscription?
onyx pivot
yes even then; the invoice is subtotalled (including pulling in any invoice items pending) and that is the total the tax is calculated against
orchid sable
In your create invoice item doc you mention on property tax_rates: "The tax rates which apply to the invoice item. When set, the default_tax_rates on the invoice do not apply to this invoice item." so if I have passed null that means default will be applied?
onyx pivot
yes
one option might be to not pass default_tax_rates on the subscription, and instead pass https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-tax_rates to the item for the subscription only.
orchid sable
What if I add a zero dollar tax rate in the invoice item will the default tax rates still be calculated ?
onyx pivot
I think it would(since the tax is calculated on the subtotal) but you could test and see what happens
