EU VAT Assistant for WooCommerce

<strong>Settings &gt; Checkout</strong>. In this section you can configure how the EU VAT Assistant will behave on the checkout page.

<strong>Settings &gt; Self-certification</strong>. In this section you can configure if the plugin should allow customers to self-certify their location.

<strong>Settings &gt; Currency</strong>. In this section you can specify which currency you would like to use for VAT reports. It doesn't have to match the WooCommerce base currency. In the lower section, you can choose which provider you would like to use to retrieve the exchange rates that will be used to calculate the amounts in VAT currency.

<strong>Settings &gt; Sales</strong>. This section contains the settings that can be used to control how sales are handled (e.g. by preventing sales to some specific countries).

<strong>Settings &gt; Options</strong>. Miscellaneous options.

<strong>Settings &gt; Shortcuts</strong>. This section contains a few handy shortcuts to reach the WooCommerce sections related to the EU VAT compliance.

<strong>Frontend &gt; Checkout</strong>. This screenshot shows the new elements displayed to the customer at checkout. The <strong>EU VAT Number</strong> field can be used by EU businesses to enter their own VAT number. The number is validated using the VIES service and, when valid, a VAT exemption is applied automatically. The <strong>self-certification</strong> element can be used to allow the customer to self-certify that he is resident in the country he selected. This information can be used as a further piece of evidence to prove that the correct VAT rate was applied.

<strong>Admin &gt; WooCommerce &gt; Order edit page</strong>. This page shows how the VAT details are displayed when an order is reviewed in the Admin section. The meta box shows the details of the VAT charged for order items and shipping, as well as the amounts refunded. <strong>Note</strong>: refunds are available in WooCommerce 2.2 and later.

<strong>Admin &gt; WooCommerce &gt; Tax Settings</strong>. This screenshots shows the Tax Settings page extended by the EU VAT Assistant. The new user inerface allows to automatically retrieve and update the European VAT rates. It's possible to choose which VAT rates are applied in each page. Another important feature is the possibility to specify to which country a VAT will have to be paid. It will be possible, for example, to apply a <em>20% UK VAT</em> for services to a German customer who buys consultancy hours, and still keep track of the fact that such tax will have to be paid to HMRC (i.e. outside of MOSS scheme).

<strong>Report &gt; EU VAT by Country</strong>. This report shows the totals of VAT applied and refunded at each rate, for both items and shipping, grouped by country. The Export CSV button allows to export the data to a CSV file, which can be easily imported by accounting software.
