VAT-mod for European companies

Question about this mod. I have a european distributor in Spain and so we are setting up a joint website.

I am unfamiliar with VAT and was not sure exactly what this mod is doing. Is it just for removing the VAT if a valid number is entered in the customer info? Or should it be adjusting the VAT for the loaction in europe the customer is purchasing from? (like if they are in spain, shipping to germany what should it do?) All I keep getting is the default 33% estimate. Is that normal?

Sorry for the noob questions. I've just not been able to find explanations for this type of thing anywhere. :-)

I've a problem.
I've setup vat mod to ceck the vat number, but don't work.
If I write an strange vat (1234) in the vat field, the account is created.
Only if there's another error in account creation, the vat mod ceck the vat number and show me the error page.
Plase, try this on 100asa dot it
Thank you

Nice site you have there!
I have investigated a bit this VAT (IVA) check and I got this from VIES:

Dear all,

You have indicated issues with the use of the VIES on the Web application after its upgrade to a new architecture, last Thursday July 5th.
We would like to remind you that the URL of the web page allowing you to verify the validity of a VAT number has moved to http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do.
This page is intended for interactive users not applications.

A SOAP web service, offering the same functionality as the interactive service is available at http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs...i/checkVatPort.
SOAP is a standard protocol based on XML exchanges and commonly used for implementing web services. The complete description of the service (IN and OUT parameters, possible exceptions... ) is provided in a WSDL file which is available at http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs...ckVatPort?wsdl.
This file usually constitutes the entry of a SOAP engine that can generate the needed code to manage the interactions with the service.

Please contact your application providers for technical assistance.

Best regards,


see if you can make anything out of this

Thank's for reply.
The problem is VAT mod don't ceck the vat number in create account.
In admin section ceck flag in vat section is set to true.
ps: complimenti per il sito e per il caffè!

Hi all

Was doing some testing and noticed the following:

Checking out with a customer where NO tax is calculated, the
word 'VAT' appears in the order total
(ex. VAT : €0,00)

But checking out with a customer where tax IS calculated, the
word 'tax' doesn't appear.
(ex. : €18,90)

screenshot attached

Anyone else noticed this?
Or better, anyone know how/where to fix?

Regarding my post about the display of the word 'tax'.

Did a search on the forum and found another thread about it here:
http://zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=420574

So it may not be related to this mod after all.

The thread has a solution, posted by Ajeh, for the problem.
It doesn't seem to work with a multilingual shop but I have posted
the question in the other thread.

The CGI-method is not longer available so vat number check gives a 404 not found and schrews the total layout of the shop!

I think we have to found a solution very soon. For now i have to disable VAT check.

Someone experiences with SOAP/XML to change this wonderful, very usefulll and vero good coded module?

it's possible to show in checkout_payment.html the billing name complete with company name and vat number?
Many customers don't see this information and they think we don't send them the invoice.
How can I do?

Is someone already working on this? If your are a SOAP/XML coder with a littlebit time please help us to get this nice and wonderfull module working.

There is't a checkout_payment.html file in Zen Cart.
I think it's standard to display the billingname complete with companyname on checkout. What do you mean? You want to display the vatnumber in billingaddress?

Maybe you can make a screenshot where you want to add the vat number..
