EU/UK VAT Manager for WooCommerce

The All in One EU VAT Manager Plugin

Because of the constant changes in VAT regulations, it became very time-consuming for online store owners to update their webshops to comply with EU VAT regulations.

With this plugin, we made adherence to EU VAT regulations much easier, with a few clicks, we made all settings you need possible to make your WooCommerce store fully compliant with EU VAT regulations in matter of a few clicks.

This EU/UK VAT Manager for WooCommerce plugin has all the settings you need to collect VAT numbers, validate them and keep or preserve charges based on validation results.

Validation Features

1. Collect VAT numbers without any validations:

Not the default behavior for all stores, but if you need it, the plugin offers this.

2. Validate VAT numbers with EU/UK VAT databases:

The plugin checks instantly on checkout page with the VIES services (as well as those for UK) to verify validity of the entered VAT number, based on results, you can select the needed setting to be applied (preserve/keep VAT).

3. Keep VAT charges in store base country:

When you sell inside your store country, EU VAT regulations require you to keep/charge VAT on these goods.

4. Preserve VAT in selected countries:

If your regulations require you to keep VAT charges when you sell to specific countries (other than your store base country), you can do so by selecting which countries that should have VAT charges applied.

5. Verify billing country:

In most cases, you will need to verify that billing country is the same country registered for the entered EU VAT number.
With a single click, the plugin offers this functionality and act accordingly based on desired setting.

6. Using VAT numbers with/without country codes:

If your customers are used to provide their VAT numbers without preceding country code, you can tolerate this and treat both numbers the same with a seamless experience for your customers.

7. Progress Messages:

For a better UX on your checkout page, we provide different fields to show messages to your customers during the validation stages, you can set your messages based on these cases:
Valid, invalid, validating, company name mismatch, different shipping & billing countries.
