Hey apologies for the delay, still trying to figure this one out. I am reaching out to some colleagues who will know the process of this better

No problem, thanks for your help

So one easy approach to this is to do what Checkout does. We allow the customer to select what country they are in from a dropdown and map that to the tax ID type for that country

#

And if you have not seen it, we have this doc that has a lot of mappings from country to tax ID type https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/tax-ids

Thanks, I have seen that - so in the case where a country supports multiple types (e.g. Australia), do we have to check the format of the given tax ID?

Good question. I will check how we do this

#

It looks like in Checkout our differentiation is whether or not you check a box that says they are purchasing as a business.

#

Because Stripe doesn't provide a built-in programmatic way to do this, I would recommend reaching out to our support team for how differentiate which ID to use in a tax policy sense. I am happy to help talk about how to program any of the ideas for how to differentiate, but our support will have a better idea on how this works from a policy perspective here https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
