You're referring to tax registrations for accepting automatic tax on payments? ie: https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering

I realize that I can do this through the Dashboard - but how to do this for connected accounts? My platform needs to pay out freelancers - to facilitate this, they need to set up a connected account first. During the express onboarding wizard, it doesn't ask them anything about their tax registrations

Sorry that was a question
You want to set up tax registrations for accepting automatic tax payments?
You wouldn't really do this on an express account if so
This is something that should be done on your platform
Because you should never be doing direct charges on express accounts anyway
Destination charges are the proper flow
But also tax is kind of a complicated thing that we're not super familiar with in here (there's tons of legal implications on how it's remitted)
But https://docs.stripe.com/tax/connect is a good place to start with connect integrations. There's https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-for-platforms and https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-for-marketplaces depending on your setup

Not sure if I understand you. Basically, I'm using the API to create an invoice on behalf of the freelancers, using our own company as the recipient contact.
I don't want to use destination charges, because payments to the connected accounts should be triggered by events coming from our backend (payments goes to our account, then gets released to connected account once milestone is reached). So here's the full flow I'm trying to make work:
- Customer send payment to my company account
- Freelancer completes work
- x% of payment gets transfered to freelancer connected account
In order for step 3 to work correctly, we need to create that invoice on behalf of the freelancer to ourselves, with the correct sales tax depending on the freelancers tax registration

Hi there! I'm taking over from my colleague. Will get to you once I'm done with other threads.

If I understand your question properly, you can add registrations for your connected accounts via the API. Our docs do a good job of walking you through how to do this [0].
