$vat_number = strtoupper(zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['vat_number'] ?? ''));

$vat_number = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['vat_number']);

Thanks for the report; I've created a GitHub issue to track the required change: https://github.com/lat9/vat4eu/issues/50

Actually, if that field's missing that implies a possible misconfiguration, since VAT4EU's observer should have inserted some jQuery that will add the vat_number entry field to those forms.

What template is in use and is the configuration setting Customer Details :: Company set to true?

Customer Details :: Company ('ACCOUNT_COMPANY' key) is set to false

(I do put corporate customers having EU-VAT-# manually from Admin )

I use my own template (but this does no matter here, I think)

OK, that would be why the vat_number isn't getting posted, since the customer's Company field needs to be displayed on the storefront for the VAT number to be included.

Sigh, v4.0.3 of VAT4EU is now available for download, correcting this reported issue.  Thanks, @yesaul!

Hi Guys. We have a specific situation where if a company buys locally with a qualified Vat number, can get certain products, such as Notebooks, phones and tablets without VAT. This is not covered with the plug in now, as a modification is needed for entering the categories that qualify for the Vat exception. In case this has use for other people, it would be useful to be implemented.
