    Tax rates on invoices

    Assign tax rates to draft invoices to have Stripe calculate tax amounts for you.

    You can assign tax rates:

    • On individual invoice-items (recommended).
    • On the entire invoice’s subtotal.

    You need to create tax rates before you can use them on invoices. See our creating tax rates documentation for instructions.

    Recommended: Setting Tax Rates on individual items

    If creating an invoice through the Dashboard, simply assign tax rates to individual line items.

    When modifying or creating invoice line items through the API, set the invoice item’s tax_rates:

    curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/invoiceitems/ii_CWYWo9Ham19N4a \
  -u sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc: \
  -d "tax_rates[0]"=txr_1EO66sClCIKljWvs98IiVfHW \
  -d "tax_rates[1]"=txr_1EEOvcClCIKljWvsqYb9U0MB

    You can add as many as five tax rates to each line item.

    For lines of type subscription or invoiceitem, use the line item id. For lines of type=invoiceitem, you can also use the value of the invoice_item field.

    Setting default tax rates for the entire invoice

    If you sell one type of product, or have simple tax needs, you can set a default tax rate on the invoice. Default tax rates apply to all line items on the invoice. For more complex use cases, you can also set an item level tax rate that overrides the default tax rate.

    If creating an invoice through the Dashboard, assign default tax rates to apply to the invoice.

    Set the invoice’s default tax rates through the API:

    curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/invoices/in_18jwqyLlRB0eXbMtrUQ97YBw \
  -u sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc: \
  -d "default_tax_rates[0]"=txr_1EO66sClCIKljWvs98IiVfHW \
  -d "default_tax_rates[1]"=txr_1EEOvcClCIKljWvsqYb9U0MB
