VAT and tax ID input is available on Team, Scale, and Enterprise plans. On individual plans, tax is applied automatically based on your billing location and cannot be overridden. On business plans (Team, Scale, and Enterprise), add your Tax ID or VAT ID via Manage Account → Subscription → Billing information → Manage, which opens the Stripe billing portal. With a valid VAT ID, tax is typically no longer charged on your invoices, depending on your location. Stripe validates the number and applies the change automatically.
What does adding a VAT ID change?
A valid VAT ID identifies your purchase as a business transaction: once it's added, tax is typically no longer charged on your invoices (this can depend on your location: where reverse-charge rules apply, typically cross-border B2B sales, your company accounts for the VAT itself) and the invoices show your company details and VAT number for accounting. Stripe validates the number as you enter it, so you'll see right away whether your VAT ID is accepted.

Individual plans operate on a B2C basis: tax is calculated and applied automatically by Stripe based on your billing location, and a tax ID can't be added.
