#juzzbott - Tax Amounts

Hello

So you are looking to automate tax collection using Invoices but you have one-off amounts since the invoice is for a variable service, correct?
And you want to use the API which is stating you need to use Product based line items.

Well, we are calculating the tax rate ourselves, so what I am looking to do is supply the tax amount with the unit price for a one off invoice item, without having to create a separate product/price item within Stripe. (note: We are not using Stripe Tax)

You can create Product that corresponds to your service and apply a specific tax code to that product. Then use a custom price amount in the Invoice

So would only need to create a single "Product" and re-use it with a custom price amount each time?
zealous torrent
Yeah so you specify the Tax Code on the Product: https://stripe.com/docs/api/products/create#create_product-tax_code
Then use the price_data attribute when creating an Invoice Item: https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoiceitems/create#create_invoiceitem-price_data

OK Awesome, that makes sense. I'll look into that. Thank so much]
