Tax Rates#

View as Markdown

GoCardless applies tax to transaction and surcharge fees in certain jurisdictions. Tax rate IDs are used in the API when applying tax to payments.

Tax rate IDs are shared between the live and sandbox environments. You can use the same IDs in both environments.

Currently, only GB (British) and FR (French) territories are subject to tax. However, additional territories may be added in the future. Make sure your integration handles new tax rate IDs gracefully.
