Hi, let me help you with this.

#

In the context of sellers - Express Connected accounts - why do you need the Tax ID on the Checkout Session?

#

Do you want to display it? Or collect it from the customers?

Hi Vanya, thank you for the quick join

So the idea is that whenever a customer is buying something, the checkout and the invoice should display the VAT split (i.e instead of 22£, to show 20£ + 2£ VAT). However if I activate the automatic tax collection in the Checkout request, it is going to use our VAT number, while we want the VAT to fallback on the seller (show their number, and it's on them to collect and handle legal actions behind)

Adding a piece of context : On the Marketplace, every Stripe Product is registered on our main account (not by seller express account) and checkouts are also done with this main account (no on_behalf flag) because we need to hold the money for a specific time in specific scenarios

This is not quite correct: on_behalf_of is actually the parameter you might want to use in your case. It still allows you to do Destination charges - charge the customers via your Platform. However, the account information used for the payments comes from the Connected account.

#

Account information might include the VAT number (need to confirm this)

#

I would suggest using the on_behalf_of parameter, and see if it achieves the result you're looking for.
