Stripe Tax adds event-location tax calculation for ticket sales
Introduced 2026-03-25 · score 0.95
HOW TO USE IT
For ticket sales and other event-based transactions using Stripe Tax, calculate tax using the event location. Create a Tax Location and pass its ID as `performance_location`; the exact calculation parameters are not available in the pages I could read.
WHY THIS HELPS
When implementing tax calculation for ticket sales or other event-based goods and services with Stripe Tax, calculate tax using the event location.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Availability: API version 2026-03-25.preview
- performance_location (required): Pass the Tax Location ID when calculating tax. The release note states this; I could not verify its precise parameter location or required status in an accessible API reference.
- requirements.performance_location: Tax Code requirements object describing tax location requirements; some tax codes require a performance location. The accessible reference did not document this property's subkeys or allowed values.
- country_options.us.type: US Tax Registration type. The release note names `admissions_tax`, `entertainment_tax`, and `tourism_tax`; the accessible object reference did not show this property's allowed values.
- Applies to ticket sales and other event-based goods and services when using Stripe Tax.
- Calculates tax based on event location rather than customer location.
