hi! can you share the exact error message and request ID if it was an API call? (https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request)

This is the message I get on my stripe dashboard:
Stripe Tax isn't yet supported for your country. Please contact stripe-tax-support@stripe.com to register your interest or if you want to collect tax in a supported market.

#

is your Stripe account based in India?

hollow star May 23, 2022, 9:44 AM

#

Yes

ember spindle May 23, 2022, 9:44 AM

#

then like it says, we don't support automatic tax in that country unfortunately

#

so your option is to use a business entity and Stripe account in a supported country, or use an alternative tax solution

Is there any way that my India bases account could use this feature?
If not, how do you suggest that I calculate the tax amount for my clients?

no

use a third party tax provider(https://stripe.com/partners/directory?q=tax) or implement the logic in your own code for determining how much tax is required and then create and pass TaxRates manually (https://stripe.com/docs/api/tax_rates)

I have another question. Should I ask here or create another thread?

ember spindle May 23, 2022, 10:10 AM

#

you can ask here!

hollow star May 23, 2022, 10:13 AM

#

Sure.
Indian regulations require invoices to be generated in INR to be paid using an Indian origin card.
How do I make sure that the invoice generated for my client is in INR or USD basis his card origin?

#

As I understand that invoices are generated before payment is made.
We are using subscriptions and require invoices in USD, unless the client is from India.

#

it's a good question! there's not really a good answer beyond just asking the customer upfront where they are and where their card they want to use to pay is issued from and branching your code at that point.

#

Okay..
Is there a way to get the card/origin country in the payment methods object? Would this be a good way to decide the user's invoice currency?

ember spindle May 23, 2022, 11:10 AM

#

in theory yes but it's not an integration we document

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/object#payment_method_object-card-country is the field you want

#

but you need to have the PaymentMethod object already, and that's not usually how our documented integrations work, they just confirm a PaymentIntent directly without creating the PaymentMethod first
