This is quite big for businesses in the EU. You used to require external tools to emit invoices & handle VAT, now everything should be doable from Stripe, with no fees.

I had a look at the API and it seems you still need to assign the correct VAT rate yourself (importing VAT rates from the official websites, and assign the correct rate to your items), where it could be automated: "my customer is in country X, I am selling electronical goods, please apply the correct VAT". But this is a very strong first step!

SCA transition for recurring changes will also be automatically handled, one less hurdle to go through.
