VAT-mod for European companies

[amuraru]

We have made two mods, one for 1.2.7d and one for 1.3.0.1. Read Install in English for more info about the mod and how to install it.

What does this mod do?
This mod checks customer's VAT (Value Added Tax) number regarding his country and displays VAT on invoice and packingslip as well as removes tax when shipping to companies in countries within the EU.

- Add a text field during account registration and modification...
- Add shop VAT number on invoice and packing slip
- Add customer VAT number on invoice
- Removes tax in checkout (if configured correctly) if customer has entered VAT number and is in a country within EU but is in a country other than the Store.
- Check VAT number for registering companies (if implemented in admin) according to their country.
- Control of the VAT number is done in admin (for both customers and shop number)
- Enable/disable server verification in configuration (in admin).

This is a remake of the old VAT INTRACOM by Jean Gourdon. Read the old thread at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9620

We have put our new functions in order.php (catalog/includes/classes/order.php). Mainly because we didn't know where they "should" go :-)

If you have any comments, questions or suggestions - Feel free to let us know!

Hello,

I just installed the VAT mod on my webshop, but I get an error. The error says : "Server is unable to check your VAT number: please, leave blank"

The VAT number I enter is in the right format, cause he does not give me an error on the format. He just gives me that error about being unable to check the number.

Anyone have any advice for me ?

A second question : I'd like to make that VAT field 'required', so customers have to fill in a correct VAT number before being able to continue.

Thanks in advance, Jan.

I found that a bit ropey, I switched it off and now I check VAT no.s manually.
Easy enough to add asterix, harder to make compulsory.

HI

Thanks for this great mod.

I installed it but my Gross prices in Admin do not compute properly. Her is my Tax config:

TAX CLASSES
1 tax class : VAT

ZONES DEFINITIONS
1st zone : Belgium
2nd zone: EU (European Union)

TAX RATES
Tax rates 1: Tax Class: VAT, Zone: EU, Tax Rate: 21%, Priority 1
Tax rates 2: Tax Class: VAT, Zone: EU, Tax Rate: 21%, Priority 2

Everything works fine at checkout and it works nicelly except for one important problem:

When I input Net Prices in Admin and choose VAT as Taxe rate, ZenCart compute 2x the VAT to calculate the Gross price.

for example: I input Net Price 100 and choose Tax Rate VAT (21%) it should compute a Gross price of 121, but instead it gives me a Gross Price of 142 !!

What can be wrong ? PLEASE HELP

My Config is as follow
Basis of Product Tax is Shipping
Basis of Shipping Tax is Shipping
Display Prices with Taxe is True
Display Prices with Taxes in Admin is True
Sales Tax Display is 1

Hello all fans, thanks for all your intrest and contributions!
Sorry for the extreme delay - we've been, just as extremely, buzzy
But now we're finally back and hope to be so more regularly


Version 1.2.6 is available at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...products_id=89
The Mod currenly is only tested with Zen Cart 1.3.7


We installed the Mod on a Zen Cart 1.3.7 distribution, and had to fix only the sql-file's quoting and to update the contact with the server (with a POST-request btw)..
As for the language_id column in the configuration_group table there is none in the 1.3.7 distribution. Maybe there's another mod?

Hi has anybody got this mod working on zen cart v1.3.8 ?

[Dave G]

Good Day All

First I would like to thank Beez & vike for this mod.

Question I have setup a customer in the UK and apparently, when your company is in the UK and you ship to a company in the UK you need to charge VAT on the shipping can this be done and if so would you be able to point me in the right direction on how to.

Thanks
Dave G

Also wondering about version 1.3.8

I found that there is a duplicated function called zen_address_format()
on functions_customers.php
and general.php
