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.
