Hey! To be clear you're looking for an individual line item for the computed tax value on the invoice?
frosty leaf
it would be for one item

Can you share the code you're using to call the endpoint? There's parameters to pass required tax rates for the line items: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming#upcoming_invoice-invoice_items-tax_rates
For example, I just retrieve an upcoming invoice with a tax_rate applied to the price/product and there's a tax value returned: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/object#invoice_object-tax

sure, let me clean the code a bit, but I'm basically creating a checkout session with a tax code in the line item
are tax_rate the same thing as tax_code?
low lion
Sorry, I thought we were talking about upcoming invoices? https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/upcoming
low lion
are tax_rate the same thing as tax_code?
No, tax code pertain to your product (i.e. how is it classified for taxation purposes)
Tax rates are the actual rates of tax that are applied

No, tax code pertain to your product (i.e. how is it classified for taxation pur...
that's what I'm trying to get then, the asociated value once you try to pay for the product
something like this, I chopped different parts of the code so it might not work as is, but I hope you get the idea
const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
success_url: 'https://example.com/success',
cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
line_items: [
{
price_data: {
tax_behavior: 'exclusive' as any,
currency: 'eur',
product_data: {
name: `...`,
tax_code: '...',
},
unit_amount: 100,
},
quantity: 1,
},
],
mode: 'payment',
});
Hmm, I'm confused. Can you share some code of how you're integrating or expecting to retrieve this data?
Yeah, you need to apply tax_rates to the line item: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-line_items-tax_rates
frosty leaf
does it work with automatic taxes?
low lion
As in Stripe Tax?
frosty leaf
yes
low lion
Tax codes work to ensure if tax is due on the product: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/tax-codes
frosty leaf
ok!, I'll check them out
To sum it up in case this explains it a bit better, I'm looking for a way to represent the tax %'s of a certain item, given automatic taxes with Stripe tax + its own tax_code
Something like
Price - ...
Vat (tax_code%) - ...
Total - ...
I'll go now read those links but this is in case you think of a better solution and I'm just confused, thanks!
low lion
Represent where though?
frosty leaf
before an actual payment, as in registering the product itself
low lion
You won't be able to do that with Stripe Tax automatically. It only works in Checkout
So you'd need to use tax rates and do the manual computation
frosty leaf
that's what I was worried about... but anyway, still thank you guys for this support <3
