Paid Memberships Pro - VAT Tax

Selling memberships to people across the European Union means dealing with different VAT rules in each country. Paid Memberships Pro – VAT Tax handles that work at checkout. It determines the right rate from the member's location and membership level, and it covers reverse charge scenarios and the taxation of digital goods and services.

The plugin runs inside your existing Paid Memberships Pro setup, so subscription billing stays in one place. You can set different VAT rates, exemptions and handling rules without needing expert tax knowledge. Members get invoices that show exact tax amounts, and you get summaries of the VAT collected, which helps when you prepare your accounts and tax filings.

Features

• Location detection: The member's billing address and IP geolocation are used to apply the right VAT rate, which limits mistakes in tax calculation.
