Overview
Back to topInitially developed as a simple B2B VAT number validation in 2011 for the old Magento 1 platform, the extension evolved over the years to an universal helper for EU VAT adjustments.
Nowadays this extension is not only about VAT number validation, instead it can control how VAT is applied in Magento in a very flexible way. The extension allows to apply the customer tax class dynamically based on the billing or shipping address instead of the fixed tax class of the customer group. Since 1st July 2021 it has been updated for the new One-Stop Shop regulations, including additional support for deliveries to the United Kingdom and for deliveries from non-EU countries into the EU (Import One-Stop Shop).
Please note: This is not tax advisory. As developers we can not know about your local tax law. The extension implements common functionalities and is/gets adjusted according to the customers feedback. Please let us know if you need any more enhancements - we'll be happy to implement your use case!
