Just to clarify: are you asking whether applying a discount today will generate a new invoice before you enable tax?

[trail monolith]

So no, the order of operations currently for us is:

1. Add discount.
2. turn on tax.
3. users are charged tax (and have discount applied)

I guess my question really is, is that the correct order of operations to ensure that both tax and discount is applied to the next invoice?

[glass grotto]

I'm going to quickly test this but I'm 99% sure that applying a discount mid cycle won't be applied immediately until the next natural billing date. So yes that should work

[trail monolith]

this was my thought as well, but I am not the most knowledgable in this area. Thank you

[glass grotto]

Yep, just worked as I expected. The discount will only apply to the next period/invoice. The only way we'd generate a new invoice ~immediately is if you reset the billing_cycle_anchor

[trail monolith]

Ah ok, thank you so much for the confirmation, this answers my question perfectly

[glass grotto]

Of course, np

I'd recommend testing yourself too just to be sure as I didn't apply Stripe Tax in this scenario

But it shouldn't affect things
