  - `taxes.taxability_reason` (enum)

Possible enum values:

    - `not_available`
      The reasoning behind this tax is not available.

    - `not_collecting`
      No tax is collected either because you are not registered to collect tax in this jurisdiction, or because the non-taxable product tax code (`txcd_00000000`) was used.

    - `not_subject_to_tax`
      No tax is imposed on this transaction.

    - `not_supported`
      No tax applied. Stripe doesn’t support this jurisdiction, territory, or product.

    - `portion_product_exempt`
      A portion of the price is exempt from tax.

    - `portion_reduced_rated`

    - `proportionally_rated`
      The shipping cost tax rate is calculated as a weighted average of the other line items’ rates, weighted by their amounts.

    - `reduced_rated`

    - `reverse_charge`

    - `taxable_basis_reduced`
      A reduced amount of the price is subject to tax.

    - `zero_rated`
      The transaction is taxed at a special rate of 0% or the transaction is exempt (but these exempt transactions still let you deduct the “input VAT” paid on your business purchases).

  - `taxes.taxable_amount` (integer, nullable)
    The amount on which tax is calculated, in the smallest currency unit.

  - `taxes.type` (enum)
    The type of tax information.
