  • Collect and validate EU Value Added Tax (VAT) numbers at checkout.
  • 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 plugin 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.
