Description

The WooCommerce EU VAT Premium add-on automatically validates the tax identification number (VAT) of business buyers on YITH/WooCommerce stores, consulting the VIES service from the European Commission in real time at checkout and applying exemption or correct tax charge according to the country of origin. Aimed at those who sell to other companies within the European Union and need to comply with intra-community B2B rules without reviewing order by order manually.

How to Download WooCommerce EU VAT Premium

The WooCommerce EU VAT Premium is available for download here at Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate it. After activation, the configuration options are available within the WooCommerce panel, along with the other tax rules of the store.

In a European e-commerce scenario, calculating VAT manually on each B2B order is a guaranteed path to tax inconsistency. The WooCommerce EU VAT Premium automates the collection, validation and application of tax within the WooCommerce checkout flow itself, leaving the store operator free to focus on product, marketing and service to corporate clients.
