Product tax codes

Stripe Tax uses product tax codes (PTCs) to associate products with tax rates. For example, a jurisdiction can charge one tax rate for products in the Clothing & Footwear category and a different tax rate for products in the School Uniforms category.

You can either:

• set a preset product tax code in your tax settings.
• set a product tax code for each of your products individually.

Stripe Tax uses the preset product tax code for products that don’t have a PTC set directly.

The following table describes the available product tax codes. If a product doesn’t fit any of the specific codes, use one of the codes with “General” in its name.

You can also fetch this list of tax codes using the API.
