Tax and Invoicing
This page summarizes how the starter app approaches tax controls. It is not legal or tax advice.
Checkout tax settings
When STRIPE_AUTOMATIC_TAX=true is enabled, Checkout requests automatic tax calculation, billing address updates, and tax ID collection where supported.
Invoices and records
One-off payments enable Stripe invoice creation. Webhooks maintain local purchase, subscription, refund, and dispute records so finance teams can reconcile activity.
What still requires jurisdiction review
Marketplace VAT/GST rules, digital services tax treatment, platform-versus-creator seller-of-record decisions, creator withholding, tax form collection, and invoice wording must be reviewed for each launch region.
