how to setup my store for non VAT registered in UK

Hi,

I'm not VAT registered will be in a year but right know I'm not so how do not show any sign of VAT to customers and on all documents?

There's VAT for EU Countries (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2164), noting that I need to review/update that plugin for continued operation under zc158 and the forthcoming zc200.

I am not VAT registered so am not allowed by law in the UK to charge any customer from any country vat or display VAT even in words as then I will be personally liable to pay the VAT amount without being able to ask the customer for the VAT element. this much i do know. so this addon is not what I need thank you anyway.

Unless I'm mistaken, you do not have to do anything - to a default install - to NOT show VAT/tax. In other words, you have to proactively set up VAT/tax in order for it to be calculated/displayed.

It's been a while since I last setup a store from scratch, so there may be some tax classes/rates that are set by default - should be able to remove those in Admin though.
