VAT-mod for European companies

yes, also the ";" was an error, but I corrected it...

now the only thing not workink on me is the changements of profile: if I try to add/modify the european tax number, nothing changes in DB...:wacko:

Hmmm, for me everything works fine ...
How did you install the mod ??? (You wrote you installed 1.2.7, is that correct ???)

What I did is installing 1.2.8, then copying all template files from 1.2.7 into the templates folder and then create own language files (languages folder /german in my case ;) )

yes, also in my case I do that, but the site broken. then I deleted all module files and I try to install the previous version (1.3.7).
this version works for me, the only problem is the editing of the profile: I don't succeed to add/modify/delete the VAT number (in fact the VAT number inserted during registration, doesn't appears in the text field likes all others fields...)
I thinks wold be a problem of paths, but I'm not sure...
In fact after installing the module also the registration doesn't works, but I found the problem in a path:
at the begin I put the file "create_accout.php" under "includes/modules".
Now I put the same file under "includes/modules/classic" and all works...

this wold be the same or similar problem?

thanks for the support..

Hi all,

I installed the mod and everything seems to work exept i don't get the vat number field when i want to create a new account

BE SURE to backup your template files before you do this!!!!!

It looks like the templates are missing in the VAT-mod version 128 dated Feb 04 2009 download, you will find the 3 .tpl files I use they may or may not work for you they will need to go into \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates directory.

Ok, I found the problem when I switch the backend to English then it works. During testing the function I noticed a big Problem with it. If a private person from a EU country without a EU-Vat number buys sth it also deductes the tax!:shocking:

Doesn´t anyone else have this problem too?

Beez:

We're unable to reproduce your problem. It works fine for us. Are you sure you have tax set up correctly? See the install.txt for instructions. Please let us know how it turns out.

I have the same problem private customers also gets taxfree.
i have no idea why it does this, nothing seem to fault.
But if somebody really wants, pls explain in detail the zone configuration. Alltough i dont think this is the solution?

I think that the implementation of VAT made using only the ISO codes of countries in the EU may cause problems, in fact the case management that is of special areas that have the purpose of VAT shall be considered or not considered to belong to the EU is difficult. In this respect there is a link for these special cases to which to refer.

Sorry for my bad English.

A small update to my problem, the problem is that it shows all my products taxfree, even when i have show tax in prices configured, this happens when i configure a company or private person from sweden. My own country is finland theres no problem with customers from finland.

Is it me who cant configure this or is this a bug, but goddamit i cant get this to function correctly.
I have zj_black template installed. Private persons gets taxfree when from another Eu country, pls check this out somebody.

barkbit86 - i gave up trying to intstall this mod, has a few bugs in. i tried to get hold of the guys that developed it and asked if they would do, obvioulsy for payment, but had no reply from either of them.

In the end I got these guys to sort: http://www.waveriderdesign.com/

It is working now, although the VAT server is down a bit http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do and there is nothing that can be done about that - the module references the database on this site to validate VAT numbers

when you download the latest module, the pack doesn't contain the template files, these need to be downloaded from an earlier download pack

Apart from this it seems to work well, thanks to those who developed it.

Thank you Mattys, well it seemsl il just have to wait for better times :D

I think that I have found the solution:
Change the last lines of the file
zen-cart-v1.3.8a\includes\functions\extra_functions\functions_vatmod.php

from

if ($tva_intracom->fields['country_id'] === $store_country->fields['store_country']) {
return false;
} else {
return true;

to

if ($tva_intracom->fields['country_id'] === $store_country->fields['store_country']) {
return false;
} elseif ($tva_intracom->fields['tva_intracom'] === '') {
return false;
} else {
return true;

Nice AddOn

I want that customers which have an VAT-number can checkout with COD... All other customers without VAT-number can't

So a step to do that is to add a condition into the includes/modules/payment/cod.php

Something like this.

// disable the module if customers don't have an VAT-number
$verify_entry_btw = $db->Execute("select entry_tva_intracom from " . TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK . " where customers_id = '" . $order_check->fields['customers_id']. "'");
      if ($this->enabled == true) {
		if (zen_not_null($order_check->fields['billing_tva_intracom'])) {
         $this->enabled = false;
        }
      }

But this isn't the right condition. Who can help me with the right condition?

Solution is this:

find ```
// disable the module if the order only contains virtual products
if ($this->enabled == true) {
if ($order->content_type != 'physical') {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}

and insert next code

// disable only when billingaddress has a correct VAT-Number
$order_check = $db->Execute("select entry_tva_intracom
from " . TABLE_ADDRESS_BOOK . "
"); // TVA_INTRACOM
if ($this->enabled == true) {
if (zen_not_null($order_check->fields['entry_tva_intracom'])) {
$this->enabled = true;}
else {
$this->enabled = false;
}
}

So now people with a right VAT-Number in their Billing-Address can pay with COD, customers without a VAT-Number in their billing-address can't pay with COD.

Please help.
