EU VAT

Getting started

A tool to manage sales in the EU: charge the correct VAT for your B2C transactions, allow VAT exemption for orders made by B2B customers and enable the OSS procedure.

EU VAT general settings

General settings:

• EU VAT field label: Set the text to use as label for the field EU VAT in the checkout page.
• EU VAT field placeholder: Set the text to use as placeholder for the field EU VAT in the checkout page.
• EU VAT field description: Set the text to use as description for the field EU VAT in the checkout page.

• Set VAT as optional or mandatory
• Hide VAT field if VIES server is down: The server from the European government is the only one that can check VAT numbers for validity. Unfortunately, this server is not accessible at all times. You can hide this field if the server is down to avoid that no orders can be placed.
• Show the VAT number field to users of the store’s registered country: Show the VAT number field to all EU customers even the ones coming from the same country as the shop base location. Important that this option is active.

One-Stop Shop (OSS), Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS)

Tax

• Import all the European taxes: Import all the European taxes in just one click and choosing the countries to enable the VAT exemption
• Show the correct VAT according to their countries: On the cart and checkout pages, the correct tax is applied based to the country.
