Paid Memberships Pro – VAT Tax – WordPress GPL Plugin

Paid Memberships Pro VAT Tax Addon GPL Overview:

VAT (Value-Added Tax) Calculate VAT at checkout and allow customers with a VAT Number to avoid the tax.

How it Works

This plugin adds a new section on the Membership Checkout form titled “European Union Residents VAT”. The customer can select their EU country of residence from a drop-down box or enter their VAT number to avoid the tax. The entered VAT number is validated using the SOAP service provided through the European Commission [docs].

VAT rates are automatically calculated based on the constant rates defined in the plugin. The rates in our plugin are those currently listed by the European Commission [docs].

EU tax rates are being reduced on July 1, 2020. The adjustment depends on which country you are located in and the industry your business operates under. Read the blog post here which includes more information about the update and code recipes to adjust your site’s tax calculations
