hi there!

Basically I'd like a way to decide if the user pays 21% or not of tax according to if they have a valid EU VAT or not.
Hey!
fallen viper
how are you accepting payments? Checkout Session, Payment Element, something else?
cloud field
Checkout session
I wonder if Tax Basic would work for this scenario. Couldn't really understand it in the documentation.
fallen viper
got it. then the simplest option woulc be to enable Automatic Tax, so that Stripe handles all of this for you.
otherwise you can use this, to manually create Tax Rates for each country: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create?api-version=2025-05-28.basil&lang=php#create_checkout_session-line_items-dynamic_tax_rates

Is the Automatic Tax this: https://stripe.com/es/tax/pricing ?
fallen viper
no, that's something else
cloud field
I see this too: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/checkout but I wonder if I need to send the tax information myself, or it will be done automatically if the buyer has set their VAT?
fallen viper
once you configured Tax Registrations in your Dashboard, and set automatic_tax when creating the Checkout Session, then Stripe will automatically compute the Tax for you. but then it's up to you to send the Tax amount to the relevant countries, unless you also use the paid feature mentioned in the link you shared.
cloud field
then Stripe will automatically compute the Tax for you
In this scenario, the Invoice will have the added tax according if the buyer is a normal person or business, right?
And then I'll have to pay this collected VAT to each country.
unless you also use the paid feature mentioned in the link you shared
In this scenario I get a payout from stripe, and I don't have to pay any tax on it, correct?
fallen viper
that's my understanding yes
but if you have more questions about Tax, I recommend directly asking Stripe support: https://support.stripe.com/contact

Thanks, will do so!
