Hi! By "dynamic tax" do you mean Stripe Tax, where Stripe automatically computes the tax for you? https://stripe.com/docs/tax

If so, Stripe Tax is not available when creating PaymentIntent unfortunately.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. No, we have two tax rate objects defined - one for Ireland, one for the UK. For our subscriptions, we managed to introduce selecting the adequate tax rate. For our single payments (PaymentIntent + ApplePay), we haven't been able to understand how to select and apply the tax rate object.

you can't really, PaymentIntents don't take TaxRate objects

they are just primitives that take an amount and currency. Only Invoices/Subscriptions and CheckoutSessions use TaxRates. So if you want a one time payment that uses your tax rates, you have to use Checkout! (or manually calculate it yourself and pass the appropriate amount to the PaymentIntent)

I see, thanks for the reply! If we calculate the final amount including tax, is there any way to surface that on the receipt? IE, a customer in Ireland for a payment intent will be able to see "Including VAT at x%" while a customer in the UK will see "Including VAT at y%"?

no, there is not, PaymentIntents don't use line items or itemized receipts(Checkout does)

you could set the description on the PaymentIntent to some text like that since that appears on the receipt, but it's a bit of a kludge and won't look like exactly what you want
