sorry, there are some mistake in my question

For upcoming invoice API, is discount code allow to applied on all items WITHOUT define in each item?

[wanton snow]

hi! yes, there's a top-level discounts field for the invoice overall, and then there are also lower-level fields to control this on a per-line item level

https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-discounts
https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-lines-data-discounts

your request passed the item-level discounts field
https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview#create_create_preview-subscription_details-items-discounts

you should modify your request to use the invoice-level field instead
https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create_preview#create_create_preview-discounts

[desert fjord]

does my request req_NYqaGGXwwqulpx the discount field is in invoice level?

[wanton snow]

yes, that request used the top-level discounts field

[desert fjord]

Thanks for comfirming. Please hold on awhile because I've question on the response return. I will attach the response here too 🙏

[wanton snow]

sounds good! yes, thanks in advance for sharing the response

[desert fjord]

Thanks for waiting. Here the response
FYI, I have product price $1800 which is tax-inclusive. Then i applied the discount 50%. The tax rate is 9%

My question why the lines.data.0.amount_excluding_tax = 172569 & the lines.data.0.tax_amounts = 7431 and the taxable amount already factor in the discount.

My expected value of lines.data.0.amount_excluding_tax = 165138

Also FYI, this upcoming invoice response is without discount applied

the lines.data.0.amount_excluding_tax = 165138 & the lines.data.0.tax_amounts = 14862

[wanton snow]

the tax behavior (inclusive/exclusive) of the tax rate is relevant here:

When tax rates are inclusive, Stripe Tax applies discounts to the original amount first. Then, we recalculate taxes based on the remaining amount. This reduction has the side effect of reducing the tax amount due.

https://docs.stripe.com/billing/taxes/tax-rates#inclusive-tax-discount-example

the tax rate used here is inclusive (txr_1S7WA3ArTeYcLw6yE0LNtQ7G)

[desert fjord]

I see, i didn't noticed that. Thanks for the info

That greatly help and clear my doubt

[wanton snow]

no problem of course, happy to help!

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

[desert fjord]

Hi, I have follow up question

[potent cloud]

sure...

[desert fjord]

Based on this thread where the upcoming invoice applied a 50% discount.
And I know that the lines.data.0.amount_excluding_tax amount was get is based on lines.data.0.amount - lines.data.0.tax_amounts. Because it subtract the lines.data.0.tax_amounts which already included the discount.
Therefore amount_excluding_tax has factor in the discount from the tax

Is that possible that the amount_excluding_tax always show the amount as tax-exclusive without factor in the discount?

[potent cloud]

I'm not sure I understand the question

the discount is applied before the TAX

[desert fjord]

Let me rephrase and slowly go through

[desert fjord]

Can you check this thread where I retrieve upcoming invoice without any discount
the lines.data.0.amount_excluding_tax = 165138

[desert fjord]

So on this thread after appliying discount on the upcoming invoice, is there a way for me to retrieve the amount excluding tax and tax amount with factor in discount?

Where i able to get 165138 (amount excluding tax) & 14862 tax amount (Without the discount factor in)

[exotic marten]

Hi there. I'll take a look

[desert fjord]

Thanks

[exotic marten]

To clarify: on an invoice with a discount, you want to be able to retrieve the non-discounted amount?

[exotic marten]

So the amount_excluding_tax in this case is the original amount for the line item, minus the tax after discounts. That's just how line items work here.
If you need the amount excluding tax, that doesn't take the actual tax amount to be paid into account, you would have to calculate this yourself.

I would also note that the GET /v1/invoices/upcoming endpoint was deprecated earlier this year, and we would recommend using the POST /v1/invoices/create_preview endpoint (API docs) which may have some additional fields

[desert fjord]

Let me spend some times to try it out

Can i know when will this endpoint be removing?
I would also note that the GET /v1/invoices/upcoming endpoint was deprecated earlier this year,

[exotic marten]

There are currently no plans to remove it, but it won't be available when using newer Stripe API versions

[desert fjord]

I see thanks. I will take not on this

[desert fjord]

When you mention have to calculate myself, is that possible to based on the stripe response return to calculate?
If yes can let me know how?

[exotic marten]

Taking a step back, can you share what you're looking to do with that amount_excluding_tax value?
