Automated VAT calculations for EU
Our VAT module automatically calculates the applicable VAT rate for EU businesses based on the customer's country, products purchased, and whether a valid VAT number has been provided.
Category based taxes
It can be convenient to set a tax rate for an entire product category when you know that all of the included products follow the same rule.
Country based taxes
The tax customers see is based on the country they are visiting from or the country they have selected.
Custom MOSS tax rules
MOSS tax rules help to comply with the EU's Mini One Stop Shop VAT regulations while it's still possible to tailor them to each business’s unique situation.
Custom product taxes
Custom tax rules enable businesses to assign a tailored tax rate to products with specific tax requirements, rather than using the general rate.
Custom shipping taxes
Set custom taxes for shipping costs.
Flexible shipping VAT
You can define if and how VAT is calculated for the shipping cost: VAT rate from the seller's country, calculate proportionally to the prices of the products, or disabled.
Inclusive or exclusive taxes
You can specify if your product prices include VAT or not, which affects the way VAT is calculated in the order totals.
Mixed VAT
Accurately calculate and charge the appropriate VAT for products or services with different VAT rates on the same invoice, ensuring compliance with VAT regulations in different locations.
Percentage or fixed taxes
Apply taxes to products either as a percentage of the purchase price or as a fixed amount. This flexibility helps businesses to accurately and easily calculate and apply taxes to their sales.
Postcode based taxes
Tax rates may vary based on the customer's location. To ensure accurate taxation outside of the EU, different tax rates may need to be applied to different postal codes.
Reduced VAT rates
Apply lower VAT rates on certain goods and services as per the local regulations, depending on your industry.
Reverse-charge VAT with evidence
This is a tax system where the recipient of a taxable supply pays the VAT to the tax authority, rather than the supplier collecting it. When an EU customer provides a VAT number, we verify it with a trusted 3rd party entity and if valid, the order VAT will change to 0%. Evidence for reverse-charge validation will be provided with each invoice.
Special VAT rules for exotic countries
Apply different VAT rules to transactions in specific countries, such as the Canary Islands or Curacao. This is useful to comply with local tax regulations in these areas.
VAT number validation
Automatically validate and verify the VAT numbers of customers against national VAT databases to ensure compliance with local VAT regulations.
VAT One Stop Shop (ex MOSS) with override
This simplifies VAT compliance by submitting VAT returns and payments to one EU state. This feature also allows the system to override the tax rate of each country, if needed.
