    New
    • Now supports PayPal Express and TwoCheckout
    Improved
    • UK VAT numbers are automatically validated as true. The EU API no longer supports UK VAT numbers. The UK VAT APIs are difficult for end users to integrate with.
    • Added Sweedish translation files.
    • Added the pmprovat_hide_vat_if_same_country filter. Enable through custom code.
    • Updated Romanian VAT to 19%. (Thanks, Mirco Babini)
    • Added German language files. (Thanks, Maja Benke)
    • Added pmprovat_skip_validation filter. If set to __return_true, the VAT verification API request will be skipped. This is useful if you do VAT verification manually later or have a high traffic site that would hit rate limits. (Thanks, Mirco Babini)
    • Improved fields display on membership checkout page to use no tables for compatibility with Paid Memberships Pro v1.9.4.
    • Added a pmprovat_calculated_taxes filter to modify TAX amount (in support of different VAT rates for different products, not charging VAT for certain products/levels, etc)
    • Now saving the VAT Number, VAT Country, and VAT Tax Rate to the order notes.
    • Also added VAT Number, VAT Country, and VAT Tax Rate to the orders export CSV.
    • Also added VAT Number, VAT Country, and VAT Tax Rate to the invoice bullets.
    • Added pmprovat_getTaxRate($country, $state = NULL) function to get tax rates out of our global array.
    • Can choose a "Seller Country" from the payment settings page. In the future, we may disallow customers from the same member country as the vendor from using their VAT Number for exemption. However, we need to verify the legal details of that first. For now, the seller country is just stored in the DB as an option.
    • Better wrapping of strings for localization.
    • Added Croatia (HR) to the country list.
    • Ordered the country list by the country name.
    • Up to date VAT rates.
    • Now setting the country of residence to the billing address if the country of residence is blank when the billing address is changed.
    Fixed
    • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Fixed warnings and notices.
    • BUG FIX/ENHANCEMENT: Now correctly calculating the tax amount and subtotal on recurring orders. Requires PMPro v2.5+.
    • No longer double applying tax on recurring orders, which was happening in some cases.
    • Incorrect function name resulted in Order export not working
    • If seller country feature was enabled, VAT number section was still shown.
    • Fixed incorrect CSS class when displaying verified text for VAT number verification.
    • We didn't need to convert GB to UK when validating VAT numbers. The VAT service expects GB. That's the EU code.
    • BUG/ENHANCEMENT: Updated the AJAX code to avoid issues on sites with PHP warnings/etc.
    • The United Kingdom has the ISO country code GB but VAT uses UK. Similarly Greece has the ISO country code GR but VAT uses EL. We are still using the ISO code in the internal arrays of this addon so we can compare them to the ISO codes used in the billing country PMPro already captures. However, we are now swapping GB to UK and GR to EL when validating the VAT number and storing the "VAT Country" in order notes, on the invoices page, and in the order CSV export.
    • Fixed bug where checkouts to non-EU countries with the EU Country value not set were failing. These checkouts should go through fine without VAT applied.
    • BUG/ENHANCEMENT: Hiding VAT stuff from free levels and not requiring an EU country.
    • Fixed various issues with the hide/show logic for the VAT area at checkout.
    • Fixed various issues with VAT Number validation
    • Change UK to GB in the country list.
    • If Greece was selected, it sent VAT prefix as "GR" while it should be "EL".
    • Fixed bug where VAT was not applied if only a country of residence was chosen vs having the billing country set.
