# Replaces top-level tax-related properties with improved tax modeling on Invoices, Invoice Line Items, and Credit Note Line Items ## What’s new We’re introducing a new [taxes](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoice-line-item/object.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil#invoice_line_item_object-taxes) concept on [Invoice Line Items](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoice-line-item/object.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil) and [Credit Note Line Items](https://docs.stripe.com/api/credit_notes/line_item.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil) that contains tax-related data and unifies the structure of tax objects in preparation for adding new types of tax objects. This replaces the top-level tax-related properties on the Invoice Line Item and Credit Note Line Item objects. We’re also introducing a new [total_taxes](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil#invoice_object-total_taxes) property on the [Invoice](https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/object.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil) and [Credit Note](https://docs.stripe.com/api/credit_notes/object.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil) objects for aggregated tax information. ## Why is this a breaking change? - `tax_rates` and `tax_amounts` are no longer available on the Invoice Line Item and Credit Note Line Item objects. - `total_tax_amounts` is no longer available on the Invoice object. ## Impact [Tax Rate](https://docs.stripe.com/billing/taxes/tax-rates.md) IDs on Invoice Line Items and Credit Note Line Items are now nested inside the new `taxes` property: - Replace `line_item.tax_rates[0]` with `line_item.taxes[0].tax_rate_details.tax_rate` (after verifying that `line_item.taxes[0].type` is `tax_rate_details`) - Replace `line_item.tax_amounts[0].amount` with `line_item.taxes[0].amount` Tax totals on Invoices and Credit Notes are now stored in `total_taxes`: - Replace `invoice.total_tax_amounts[0].amount` with `invoice.total_taxes[0].amount` (after verifying that `invoice.total_taxes[0].type` is `tax_rate_details`) ## Changes #### REST API | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints | |
