Hi, let me help you with this.
If you don't have tax registration in other countries than UK, it will calculate 0 tax for those countries.
I need it to show the VAT straight away.
But how would Stripe know if your address is UK?

If you don't have tax registration in other countries than UK, it will calculate...
yes thats what I need it to do. But I want the modal to show the VAT if the customer is registered as a UK customer on my system, without entering their details into the stripe modal, is that possible?
this is what the modal shows (It should show +20% so 594)
as soon as I enter my postcode it does this
is there a way to submit the postcode during session creation in my c# back end?
opal vine
Do you have the full address available before creating the Checkout Session?
agile geode
one second
No I don't think I would...
Can there be any workaround to show the VAT straight away?

I am testing this right now and I am able to see the VAT right away without address...
agile geode
huh...
opal vine
Oh, it seems like for UK you must provide the postal code to calcualte VAT.
Do you have it?
agile geode
seemingly the system doesnt record address at all
I just need something to tell my bosses basically 😅
Should I tell them - we can't do this without gathering the address?
opal vine
No, it doesn't seem like it's possible at all. I was trying to create a Customer with a specific billing address, but it falls back to my browser's default country.
agile geode
so tax will only calculate based on the address provided in the details?
opal vine
Pre-filling the address doesn't seem possible in Checkout, which in turn make it impossible to show VAT for UK right away.
opal vine
Happy to help.
