Standalone Tax API

Use the Tax Calculations and Transactions APIs directly for shipping, tax-inclusive pricing, and more.

The standalone Tax API lets you calculate tax, record transactions, and handle reversals directly. Use it with PaymentIntents or when processing payments off-Stripe. The following features are available when using the Tax Calculations and Transactions APIs.

Stripe only calculates tax in jurisdictions where you have an active tax registration. Without a registration in the customer’s location, the calculation returns zero tax. To learn more, see Understand zero tax amounts.
