How to add your tax ID on invoices and reciepts
Adding Tax Information to Stripe Invoices & Receipts
Stripe supports adding tax information via tax rates or by enabling Stripe Tax so that invoices and receipts show the correct tax amount and legal identifiers.
Note this is not legal or financial advice. Please see Stripe Documentation for the most up-to-date information on Stripe Tax.
Step-by-step: Configure Tax Info and add it to Stripe receipts and invoices
- Go to Settings → Tax settings (or Billing/Invoices section) in Stripe
This is where you manage tax defaults and enable automatic tax calculation. Stripe Docs
- Go to invoices
- Add your Tax ID / Business Tax Information to invoices
- Option 1: Scroll down and add your EIN to invoices
- Option 2: Select Invoice Template settings (under Billing → Invoice Template → Manage tax information), you can specify your business’s tax identification (e.g. VAT number, EIN) so invoices and receipts include your tax ID. Stripe Support
- Save and send an invoice
- Once tax is configured and applied, you can finalize and send the invoice. The taxes will show up on the invoice and in the receipt. If you have anyone on a subscription already, their next invoice will have your saved info.

Apply tax rates to your invoice line items or the whole invoice

Ensure customer address / location is accurate
Stripe uses the customer’s billing or shipping address to determine which tax rates apply. Make sure the location on the customer record is correct. Stripe Docs
