Introduction

The solution includes two plugins for VirtueMart (userfield and calculation) who cooperate in determine the correct amount of VAT in accordance with EU rules. userfield allows customers to enter their VAT number, which will be verified online through the web service VIES and the calculation assigns the correct VAT rate (or not) based on selected country and value in the VAT userfield.

Our solution can be used for trading with physical goods and for trading with services (digital products).

Only VAT payers in the EU take advantage of this solution and only for international trading in the EU! If you are not registered for VAT in the EU and you buy our solution, it's a purely your decision and you cannot to claim a refund for a subscription!

Main features

  • Easy configuration of VAT in the e-shop.
  • The only solution on the market that does not need to "misuse" customer groups in VirtueMart for its functionality and cleverly utilizes VirtueMart functionality such as own userfield and own calculation.
  • In the combination with our IP2C (IPs to Country) plugin that we offer for free, the correct VAT rate can be preset at the time when a customer visits a website.

Userfield

  • Online verification of proper VAT number through the web service VIES immediately when submitting a form with the address or in real time (using ajax) when you use a suitable One Page Checkout plugin that makes this possible.
  • Verified VAT nr values are stored in the DB (cache) for future use without re-loading from the web service.
  • Optional check the validity of VAT number against the selected country.
  • Possibility to enter values of VAT numbers that cannot be validated through the VIES, if you are certain they are valid for the EU trading (after assigning VAT number to a trader can take up to several days before the VAT number appears in the public register VIES).
  • Optional configuration for permission to enter the VAT number without prefix and ignoring invalidity in domestic trading (in some EU countries - eg. in Italy - is necessary for trading at EU level to register VAT number in a special register and until this moment it's possible to use VAT number without prefix and only for trading domestically).

Calculation

  • The easy configuration of VAT as in the case of a standard calculation of VAT with the only difference, when instead of the standard mathematical operation (+%) is selected the name of this plugin.
  • The selection of countries is limited to EU countries (easier setting and minimizes the probability of a mistake when configuring VAT).
  • Possibility to use in case of sale of physical goods and services (digital products).
  • Restrictions for VAT rates in accordance with usual conditions as in other calculations in the VirtueMart (according to shopper group, product category, country of customer, manufacturer, etc.).
