Why tax through Orchestrapay
The tax line your customers and your accountant both expect.
Calculated on every charge
Tax is worked out at checkout and on each invoice, from the rate that applies, and added to the amount charged.
Inclusive or exclusive
Add tax on top of your price, or keep prices tax-inclusive and show how much of them is tax.
Rates per jurisdiction
Keep a rate for each country or state you collect in, labelled the way your customers expect to read it.
On every document
Tax is its own line on the checkout, the invoice, the emailed receipt and the invoice PDF.
Snapshotted on subscriptions
A subscription keeps the rate it started on, so editing a rate never surprises a subscriber mid-term.
Works with coupons and credits
Tax is calculated after discounts and alongside balance credits, so the invoice breakdown always adds up.
Inside a tax rate
Set a rate once. It lands on every charge it applies to.
A rate is a handful of fields. Here is what each one does.
- Display name
- "VAT"
- The label your customer reads on the checkout, receipt and invoice: VAT, Sales Tax, GST.
- Percentage
- 20.000
- Up to three decimal places, for local rates such as 8.875%.
- Treatment
- exclusive
- Exclusive adds tax on top of the price. Inclusive keeps the price and shows the tax inside it.
- Jurisdiction
- "DE"
- The country or region the rate belongs to, so the right one applies to each customer.
- Status
- active
- Retire a rate without deleting it. Invoices that used it keep showing it.
How it works
From a rate to a clean tax line.
Add your rates
Create a rate for each place you collect tax, in the dashboard or through the API.
Charge as usual
Checkouts, payment links and subscription invoices pick up the rate and add the tax line.
Report and remit
Every invoice carries its tax amount, so the totals you file are already in your records.
Questions teams ask before they switch.
No. Orchestrapay calculates and collects the tax on your charges and records it on every invoice. Filing and remitting stay with you, unless we are your merchant of record in that market.
