@dim minnow no, we don't support applying tax directly to PaymentIntents today. TaxRate objects are used with Checkout and Invoices/Subscriptions, PaymentIntents are a more 'base' level integration.
https://stripe.com/docs/tax

#

if you're using raw PaymentIntents it's more like you would calculate the tax yourself and change the amount you pass to it

Hi,
Thank you for quick answer! Does this mean that I cant get tax-reports in my Stripe Dashboard, when I calculate the tax myself?

And do you know how I could get tax on the Stripe receipts, that are being sent out to my costumers after a payment has succeeded?

#

yes it does mean that
and tax on receipts is only if you're using our actual Tax product, which means using Checkout or Invoices/Subscriptions today since those are the only integrations supporting TaxRates at the moment

#

Ok! Do you know if it will be possible to use your Tax products on PaymentIntents in the future?

fringe elm Nov 8, 2021, 11:19 AM

#

it will be in some form eventually yes

#

but no timeline I can share (but it's not something you should expect this year for example)

Ok! I have another thing I would like you to help me with, if you have the time:
In addition to using Stripe Elements, I have implemented Stripe Checkout. Here, I can use Tax rates, as you mentioned. The problem with Stripe Checkout is that I cannot use coupon codes that have a 100 % discount aka giftcards. This is a big part of my business income.

Do you have any solution for how I could implement giftcards in Stripe Checkout, and bypass the zero amount problem?

#

not really, as you say, it's not supported right now unfortunately, if doing single payments(you can only have 100% off coupons for mode:"subscription" uses of Checkout), it's a real problem

#

the only thing I can suggest is either

somehow know that the customer is going to use 100% off before redirecting to Checkout, and if they are, just don't use Checkout(but then you can't get their card details or stuff, so that doesn't make sense)
use mode:subscription, but if you're not actually creating Subscriptions then it doesn't make sense
use Invoices and the hosted invoice page (https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/integration#create-invoice-code + https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page) instead of Checkout, but that doesn't work as well as Checkout overall

#

sorry, there's no good answer until we actually support 100% off in Checkout.

#

Thats ok, thank you for the answer! I think that your first suggestion could work, if I let the costumer put in their gift card code before entering to Checkout. Do you have a time estimation on when you are going to let it be 100 % discount in Checkout?

I do not I'm afraid, it's definitely a priority and a pain point, but it will require redesigning some of the underlying details and assumptions for that part of the API so again, not something in the short term
