This is the support thread for the forthcoming VAT4EU (VAT for EU Countries) plugin, a re-design of the VAT mod for European Companies that supports Zen Cart 1.5.5 and later.

VAT4EU reduces (but does not remove) the core-file/template-file changes required for its operation, injecting Zen Cart "notifiers" to allow its processing to integrate into your installation without carving those files up! It also makes use of the VIES service for automatic VAT number validation.

A beta version is available on the plugin's GitHub repository for anyone who wants to give it a try before I submit the plugin to the Zen Cart Plugins over the next few days.
