Easy Digital Downloads EU VAT

Selling digital products across Europe means applying a different VAT rate depending on where the customer lives, then keeping proof of that location and reporting the tax. Easy Digital Downloads EU VAT handles this inside your EDD store. It works out the right rate for each buyer, validates VAT numbers for business customers and applies the reverse charge where it is relevant.

The plugin also records customer location evidence, such as postal and IP addresses, and keeps it with your VAT data so you can view and export it. It adds VAT details to EDD invoices, payment confirmations and receipts, and it produces reports for tax submissions. It suits stores based inside or outside the EU that sell downloadable goods to European buyers.

Features

• Automatic VAT calculation: Charges the VAT rate for each EU and UK country based on the customer's location, so every digital sale carries the correct tax.
• VAT number validation: Checks VAT numbers entered by business customers and stores them with the order, which supports cross-border B2B sales.
• Reverse charge handling: Removes VAT from qualifying business purchases where the reverse charge applies, based on the validated VAT number.
• Customer location evidence: Gathers several types of evidence, including postal and IP addresses, to document where each buyer is located for EU VAT requirements.
