# Tax Exempt Transactions

Payments made using the Stripe gateway in Auto tax mode can be flagged as "tax exempt" if a business buyer in the European Union supplies a valid VAT ID during Stripe checkout.

The %TAX\_EXEMPT% invoice variable, together with the Conditional Text syntax, can be used to include or exclude some relevant text. In the example above, the text "(Reverse charge applied)" will only be included on an invoice for payments that are flagged as tax exempt.

The "tax exempt" status can also be set by Payage applications using the Payage API.

For tax exempt payments, the buyer is not allowed to change their tax ID when requesting an invoice.
