Overview

For stores selling to EU businesses, checking VAT registration and applying the right tax treatment can add work to checkout and order handling. This plugin adds VAT number collection and validation to the WooCommerce checkout flow. Store owners can use the result to exempt customers with valid VAT numbers from VAT.

The plugin connects to the European Commission’s VIES VAT validation system to check VAT numbers. It can show VAT fields to EU customers and hide them from customers outside the EU. For digital goods, store owners can configure EU-specific VAT rates in WooCommerce.

Features

Checkout VAT collection: Collect EU business VAT numbers during WooCommerce checkout, giving customers a place to provide their registration details with their order.
VIES number validation: Connect to the European Commission’s VIES system to validate EU VAT numbers as customers submit them.
VAT exemption: Automatically remove VAT for customers whose VAT numbers are verified, supporting tax-exempt purchases by eligible EU businesses.
Location-based VAT fields: Display VAT number fields to customers in the EU and hide them from customers outside the EU.
Digital goods tax settings: Configure EU-specific VAT rates in WooCommerce for digital products, alongside the plugin’s VAT number handling.

Best for

WooCommerce stores selling to EU businesses
Online retailers handling VAT-exempt B2B orders
Digital goods stores serving EU customers
