Hello! Generally you would look at the resulting Invoice and see if it has the correct amounts. Can you provide more details?

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

yeah I can

#

in_1KhG6OJeqqnS1Dd3CfPUnVtu

#

this is the id of the invoice I created

#

and it says auto tax is enabled

#

and that it "succeeded"

#

but I dont see any tax

#

could you tell me where I might be going wrong

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 5:29 PM

#

I can take a look, yep, hang on...

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:30 PM

#

thanks so much

Looks like tax didn't apply because what you're selling isn't taxable in the customer's location. For more details I recommend you contact Stripe support so they can verify your identity and provide more specific information: https://support.stripe.com/contact

#

ok just so I'm clear

#

the products i had in there were prepared foods

#

specifically for delivery

#

am I using the correct tax code?

#

I don't know, I'm not a tax expert, but the people at Stripe support know much more about this than I do. 🙂

#

This Discord server is focused on developer/code questions.

#

oh ok great but its not a problem with my request

#

I'm doing everything properly on the api stripe tax side of things

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 5:40 PM

#

You mean you're wondering if this request is correct or not? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_RFhRwdksTI2kE4

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:41 PM

#

yes

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 5:43 PM

#

Yeah, that API request succeeded and looks fine.

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:45 PM

#

ok for some reason it only taxes in canada automatically

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 5:46 PM

#

Do you have tax registrations set up for other countries in your Dashboard here? https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/tax

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:49 PM

#

yup it says we have one in testing for new york

#

the same request with different shipping address provides the correct tax

#

but in the states it doesnt

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 5:51 PM

#

Did you set up a tax registration for each state where you're trying to collect tax?

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:51 PM

#

yup one for new york

#

and one for ohio

#

and funny enough tax rate on delivered food for ohio is no tax

#

so we just assumed it was working correctly

#

This guide might be helpful if you're wondering about a specific tax situation in a particular location: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/registering

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:52 PM

#

oh ok

#

yeah that wasnt helpful im afraid

#

we are still at the testing phase

#

and for some reason your service doesnt work for the states

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

It should work fine, but I can't tell you specifically why you're seeing what you're seeing. Stripe support can help you figure it out though.

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 5:58 PM

#

ok

#

well its defintley not the tax code

#

I just changed it to txcd_99999999

#

and its still not taxing at all

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

Tax is extremely complicated, and I am not well-versed in tax calculations, so the most I can do for you is point you to relevant documentation. This, for example, mentions Ohio as a state which does tax differently: https://stripe.com/docs/tax/supported-use-cases#us-sales-tax

#

Perhaps that might be the reason for what you're seeing?

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 6:05 PM

#

yes that does make sense

#

maybe we didnt set up the dashboard properly I'll message stripe support

bright star Mar 25, 2022, 6:05 PM

#

Good luck with it! 🙂

tight portal Mar 25, 2022, 6:08 PM

#

thanks

#

just to confirm stripe auto tax does work when someone is selling something outside their country correct?

#

like if I'm in canada and I'm selling a product to someone in the states
