Hi there 👋 if you're using the Stripe generated receipts, then you can't customize the content of those.

Just to make sure I understand your other point, you want to only charge VAT on the application fee that your platform collects?

Thanks for your answer !
Ok, so we have to generate our own receipt ? And disable the stripe receipt ? Are we sure our clients will not receive 2 receipts (ours and the Stripe one) ?

Yes, that's exactly that.

Correct, you would need to build a custom flow to generate and send the receipts that you'd like, and disable the Stripe generated receipts in your account settings.

Thank you for the confirmation, I'm not sure if that's possible but please bear with me while I check.

So it doesn't look like we have a prebuilt flow where you only tax the application fee. Since you know the application fee will always be 20% and want to charge 20% VAT on that, that would be equivalent to a 4% tax on the total payment, and that you could set up via Tax Rates:

Ok thanks for your answer !

A last question 🙂 have you ever seen this kind of request before about the VAT ? I mean, if Stripe never had this kind of request, maybe we are wrong about how we have to apply our VAT in France....

I personally haven't, but tax questions don't come to our team terribly often. That being said, I was curious about your use case to see if it's a flow that should be raised to our product team. Have you discussed this scenario with your tax advisor by chance? They'd be best suited to provide guidance on what the flow should look like.
