Account tax IDs

Store and render your tax IDs with Stripe Invoicing.

Displaying your tax IDs on invoice documents is a common regulatory requirement. With Stripe, you can add up to 100 tax IDs to your account. Both the account and customer tax IDs display in the header of invoice and credit note PDFs.

In the Invoice template, you can:

• Select default tax IDs to appear on every invoice and credit note PDF.
• Automatically display the correct tax IDs based on each invoice’s taxable location (requires automatic tax ).
• Define a list of tax IDs to appear on a specific invoice.

Warning

You can’t add, change, or remove account tax IDs after an invoice is finalized.

Manage account tax IDs

You can add and delete tax IDs using the invoice settings page in the Dashboard. After you add a tax ID in the Dashboard, you can set it as the default tax ID for every invoice and credit note PDF. Tax IDs are immutable—you can’t change the country and ID after you save the tax ID to your account.

Additionally, you can add and delete tax IDs with the create and delete endpoints.

Adding and removing IDs

Visit the invoice settings page. Click the Tax tab and add a new tax ID or remove an existing tax ID:

Display account tax IDs on invoices

Stripe uses the following priority when determining which of your account tax IDs appear on an invoice:

1. Manual override : Tax IDs explicitly set using account _ tax _ ids on the invoice, subscription, payment link, or checkout session.
2. Automatic tax ID display : If enabled , Stripe resolves the appropriate tax IDs based on the invoice’s taxable location.
3. Default tax IDs : Your default tax IDs appear as a fallback.

Enable automatic tax ID display

When you enable automatic tax ID display, Stripe resolves and stamps the most appropriate tax IDs at invoice finalization time, based on the invoice’s taxable location. If you don’t have matching tax IDs for the taxable location, we display the tax IDs of your head office location.

Note

Automatic tax ID display requires automatic tax ( automatic_tax[enabled]=true) on the invoice.

To enable automatic tax ID display:

1. Go to Invoice settings .
2. In the Invoice tax information section, toggle on Display tax IDs based on taxable location .
3. Click Save .

Setting tax IDs manually

To override automatic tax ID display and display specific tax IDs on an invoice, you can set them in the Dashboard or with the API. Manual overrides take precedence over both automatic tax ID display and default tax IDs. To learn more about taxes and invoices, see Taxes.

You can set a list of tax IDs in the Dashboard using the Invoice Editor. ​​You can’t modify account tax IDs after an Invoice has been finalized.

In the Invoice Editor, scroll down to the Advanced Options section. Click the checkboxes to toggle which tax IDs ​​to display on that invoice. To remove tax IDs from the invoice, uncheck the boxes.
