VAT-mod for European companies

[dimjoula]

No, you cannot change it. It is the European law. The number must be written this way. But, it is mandatory for foreign companies. If you are planing to accept orders only from your country, you don't need this plugin. It is useless. For individuals and for companies in your country, you must add VAT anyway. Ask your accountant about the European VAT regulations.

I keep getting this error message, no matter what I'm trying to do:

"Server is unable to check your European Tax number: please, leave blank."

Anyone found a way to make it work?

Yes i just implemented it 2 week ago and is working fin on ZenCart 1.3.8a First i got this message also but after reading again the readme carefully i found i did something wrong.

I am running super orders on my sites and i wondered if this mod can be used on that?

Am i right in thinking that the changes to orders.php, packing slip.php and invoice.php will be irrelevent to my sites as they are using the super order equivalent files?

What is the best way to get this running on super orders?

Look at the differences between orders.php etc from this mod and the original files and copy the extra code from the VAT mod files into the equivalent super order file?

i.e compare vat mod orders.php with zencart orders.php, extract the extra code and paste into super order orders.php?

Anyone who is running super orders and this mod give any advice?

thank you for this wonderful mod

It almost works perfectly. New customers can add their VAT-number and when they are living outside my country and within the EU, the do not have to pay the VAT.

But the problem is that when users in EU outside my country don't have a company with a VAT-number, they must pay VAT....but in this mod, they are also vat-free.

How can I handle this?

Hi all users of the VAT-mod!

We're glad to see that the mod is being used, and quite successfully by the looks of it :)

We're haven't been able to maintain the development of this mod for over a year, but We'll try to keep track of it now. I've just updated the version here: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...products_id=89 Current version is 1.2.8 and for Zen Cart 1.3.8a.

As soon as Zen Cart version 2.0 is out will we update the VAT-mod as soon as we can.

Stay tuned!

Good to see you back !
I am not an expert in php coding and I am glad you are taking over the project again. For the next version, as there is no rush, can you please see if you can implement the code that will display prices with or without VAT for the whole shop (not only at checkout). See the previous posts, someone seems to have found a solution (not tested by myself), but if it is fine, it would be great to have a more elegant way to include this code into VAT-mode ? Indeed, we must display prices with VAT in the shop to customers that must pay them. So doing it only at checkout is not enough (not tolerate) according to our European laws.

I think that European comanies depend on China whether there are subventions for many indurtrial branches. It is conducted until it devastate concurency. Then subventions are lower and lower and prices became more real. The cloth industry is one example. China has destroyed others and became leader at this industry only because dumping prices. Now we must be prepared for Chinas domination in this industry. It'll happen in other industries.

Hi
I istalled the last version of this module 2 times, but after that my site crashed!!!

The administration zone works normally, but the catalog is a white page, without any html code!!!

I don't understand where if I do any errors, but I'm sure that I copied all file in my site, and the sql patch works perfectly.

Another problem: this folder: "\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\" is empty!!
then I uploaded these files (taken from the previous version of the module):
tpl_modules_address_book_details.php
tpl_modules_checkout_new_address.php
tpl_modules_create_account.php

Is this correct?

thanks!
