Overview
Selling across EU borders means dealing with different VAT rates, business customers who may be exempt, and reporting rules that change by destination. This plugin handles those steps inside WooCommerce. It geolocates shoppers and applies the correct rate for consumer orders, so you do not have to adjust taxes by hand.
For business buyers, it adds a VAT number field to checkout and checks the number against European Commission records. It also supports the One-Stop-Shop (OSS) and Import One-Stop-Shop (IOSS) procedures. You can import EU tax rates, watch your sales threshold, and export tax reports as CSV files to keep your records organized.
Features
- Location-based VAT rates: The plugin geolocates shoppers in real time and applies the correct VAT rate for B2C customers, so tax is calculated without manual changes on each order.
- VAT number validation: Business customers enter an EU VAT number in a checkout field. It is validated against European Commission records, and verified buyers receive VAT exemption.
- Customizable VAT field: Choose whether the VAT number field is optional or required, and edit the messages shown to customers at checkout.
- OSS and IOSS support: Apply the EU One-Stop-Shop and Import One-Stop-Shop procedures with a single click to handle VAT collection and reporting on cross-border sales.
- Threshold tracking and CSV reports: Monitor the €10,000 yearly sales threshold for B2C exports and generate exportable CSV tax reports on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.
- Bulk import of EU tax rates: Import VAT rates for all EU countries in one step, then configure exemptions and tax settings for each country.
- Option to block EU orders: Turn on a toggle to restrict sales to customers outside the EU, and show custom notices to EU visitors on the checkout page.
- Country confirmation prompt: When a customer's IP location and billing address differ, the plugin asks them to confirm their country, which reduces the chance of applying the wrong tax.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling digital or physical goods in the EU
- Shops serving both consumers and VAT-registered business buyers
- Merchants who need exportable VAT reports and OSS or IOSS handling
