Benefits

  • Exempt businesses from paying VAT, if necessary.
  • Collect and validate user location in business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions.
  • Handle EU tax requirements for digital goods.

Due to recent HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) VAT API changes, this extension can no longer validate UK VAT numbers. HMRC now requires each merchant to register an API key, which this extension does not currently support.

This extension provides your checkout with a field to collect and validate a customer’s EU VAT number if they have one. Upon entering a valid VAT number, the business will not be charged VAT in your store.

Frequently asked questions

How does the VAT number validation work?

The validation function uses the VIES VAT number validation API from the European Commission.

Will customers outside Europe see this field?

Customers located outside the EU will not see any VAT fields as they are out of scope for EU VAT.

How do I set up EU VAT rates for digital goods?

For EU VAT on digital goods, you need to input VAT rates into WooCommerce. See how to set up EU VAT rates for digital products.

Does this extension support validating UK VAT numbers?

Due to recent HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) VAT API changes, this extension can no longer validate UK VAT numbers. HMRC now requires each merchant to register an API key, which this extension does not currently support.

    El plugin EU VAT Number ha resultado ser una gran decepción. Al principio funcionaba correctamente, pero con el tiempo comenzó a mostrar un comportamiento totalmente errático. Dejó de validar los números de IVA como corresponde, lo que generó numerosos inconvenientes y errores en la facturación para clientes de otros países. Estos fallos no solo afectan la experiencia del usuario, sino que también comprometen procesos fiscales importantes. Por desgracia, su inestabilidad lo convierte en una herramienta poco confiable para gestionar el IVA intracomunitario. No puedo recomendarlo.

      Lamento mucho leer sobre la experiencia tan frustrante que has tenido. El comportamiento errático que describes —especialmente la validación inconsistente del número de IVA— suele deberse a un conflicto con otro plugin o con el tema activo del sitio, más que al propio plugin EU VAT Number. Quiero asegurarme de ayudarte a resolverlo. Te enviaré un correo directamente para revisar tu caso y guiarte paso a paso en el proceso de diagnóstico, con el objetivo de identificar la causa y devolver la estabilidad a tu tienda. Gracias por compartir tu experiencia, y quedo a tu disposición para ayudarte a solucionarlo. ------- I’m really sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you’ve had. The erra...

    La última actualización no permite comprar si no se pasa la validación del VAT correctamente. Desde la última actualización, nuestra tienda ha dejado de permitir la compra. No hemos cambiado ninguna opción desde la versión anterior y siempre funcionó. Tenemos seleccionada específicamente la opción de permitir el pedido aunque el VAT no pase la validación. Hemos pedido ayuda a soporte y tras atendernos por el chat rápidamente y comentarnos que era algo raro, pero que estaba ocurriendo, abrieron el ticket 10178917 y nunca más respondieron. Han pasado dos días y no tenemos noticias aunque hemos vuelto a contactar repetidamente. Los clientes no pueden comprar y estamos perdiendo perdiéndolos par...

    I bought this plugin for my shop but it's not working. I would say it's working for 50% cases. Stuck at VAT validation. I got issues with connecting to servers and checking VAT status. I saw few other comments here so I'm not alone. It looks like in the past it was working fine so I hope they'll fix it.

    The plugin works inconsistently. The BTW validation servers are down from time to time, making B2B orders unable. I get confused customers emailing lately when trying to order, really frustrating. The fix for now is disabling the plugin.
