Your monthly tax invoice displays the fees and the taxes on Stripe fees that Stripe applies to your account based on your transaction history.

These are included on tax invoices based on when the balance transaction was created. Balance transactions are changes to your Stripe account balance. You can view your balance transactions by downloading your balance summary report from the Dashboard.

• Created date shows the date when the transaction is created.
• Available_on shows the date the balance transaction’s net funds become available in your Stripe balance.

Monthly tax invoices include balance transactions based on the “Created” date, not the “Available_on” date. The UTC timezone is utilized to determine which balance transactions should be included in tax invoices. To enhance the accuracy of reconciliation results, set the Balance Summary Report's time zone to UTC.

For example, in the sample balance report below, only the items that have a Created date in May would be included in a May 2022 tax invoice. The fee column represents the fees that appear in the tax invoice and the balance report.

This column may also include the following types of fees which will not be included in the tax invoice from Stripe:

• Fees charged by Connect platforms
• Passthrough fees

Because monthly tax invoices include balance transactions based on the Created date, adjustments to Stripe fees for refunds or true-ups may be included in one month’s tax invoice but refer to payments processed in the previous month.

For example, the dispute or other_adjustment cells in the table above occur in May and will be included in May’s tax invoice, but might refer to activity from a previous month, like a dispute or adjustment from April.
