VAT-mod for European companies

[Stevis2002]

Hi all,
Do you know if there is an update or similar mod for 1.51?

Thanks

Found one...For anybody else it is Customer Tax Exempt v1.30-revised-for-150

Customer Tax Exempt for v1.5.5:

I've been asked by another Zenner to update this plugin for use on Zen Cart 1.5.5 and later, making modifications to reduce the number of core-files that require changes.

From my initial inspection of the current codebase, it looks like a fair rewrite (8-10 hours of development) to use the Zen Cart notification interfaces to allow the processing to be more "drop-in". If anyone is interested in partially funding the development, I'll be creating an initially-private GitHub repository where you can participate in the module's creation and ensure that any store-specific requirements that you might have are addressed during the plugin's re-launch.

PM me if you're interested.

Possibly I do not understand what this mod does

I have a VAT registered company in Switzerland. I use the built in tax functions in 1.5.5d and they calculate the VAT correctly, show amounts with and without VAT on the invoice plus a VAT total and do not charge VAT outside of my country.
So what more does this plugin do?

The VAT Mod currently adds processing to gather as input the customer's VAT Number for B2B transactions, displaying that information on the orders, invoices and packingslips ... and, more importantly, enables that B2B customer to automatically receive a VAT refund.

In its updated version, the plugin will also contact the VIES web-service to validate that the VAT number entered is valid and make modifications to fewer built-in/core Zen Cart modules.

Thanks :)
As it happens Switzerland is not a part of the VIES system, probably UK (Brexit) will also leave soon - hopefully there will be alternatives.

Alternatives ... to what?

Alternatives ... to what?

Alternatives to the VIES system for UK & Switzerland.
For example the UK could continue to maintain their national VAT number database but under a different name or under VIES via a licence agreement?

Does not seem to be any plan for Switzerland to join!

Thanks for the info; if any "alternate" VAT-validation services become available, the updated version of this plugin could be modified to provide a country-by-country lookup.

Hello.

I'am using zen cart v1.5.7ppatch1

With this module from what understand you can make also remission of tax if you have to make export the products to third countries
and it is logical but.. to make remission must send first to customs of the origin country in my case Greece and they charge me around 40,00 euros (UPS CUSTOMS SERVICE).My question is how can I charge the customer from the third country to pay this fees when his country it is out of EU ?
