My company uses Chargebee as the subscription management layer (between stripe and our systems; they perform charging, billing and dunning for us, and also offer us a slick interface to hand out rebates and the like); they are able to at least determine the correct VAT amount for European customers (based on IP/asking the user). It's not free though, but I'm happy we are able to focus on our product instead of those things.

Josh here from the Stripe Checkout team. We're actively thinking about VAT-related features for Checkout. We'd love to chat; drop me a note at [email protected]

Josh, I appreciate you being receptive.
But I've been asking Stripe for this since 2015. I don't know what info I can possibly offer you that you surely haven't heard from tons of customers over the years.
It would be great if Stripe Checkout included VAT-related features:
* Detect country and - if needed - add appropriate VAT
* Allow customer to add a valid VAT number, so that when appropriate tax is not charged
* Offer clear reporting on what VAT has been collected for each jurisdiction
I realise this is a big, big can of worms. But that’s why we use Stripe, right? For help handling that big can of worms that is international payment collections. :)
