Paid Memberships Pro VAT Tax

This plugin is an add-on for Paid Memberships Pro that handles European Union VAT during membership checkout. It adds a section to the checkout form where the customer picks their EU country or enters a VAT number, and the tax is worked out from rates defined in the plugin. VAT numbers are checked against the European Commission service.

Key Features

• Checkout VAT Section – A dedicated section on the membership checkout form lets the buyer choose their EU country of residence or supply a VAT number.
• VAT Number Validation – VAT numbers entered by customers are checked through the European Commission's SOAP service.
• Automatic Rate Calculation – The tax is calculated from constant VAT rates defined in the plugin, which match those listed by the European Commission.
• GeoIP Location Detection – The buyer's country can be detected automatically, but this requires the separate GeoIP Detect plugin to be installed and active.
• Seller Country Setting – The store owner enters their seller country in the payment gateway settings.
• Developer Hooks – Action and filter hooks let developers adjust tax rates, the EU country list, validation results and rounding.
• Country Rate Filter – A filter allows the VAT rate for each country to be changed.
• Rounding Control – The number of decimals used when rounding VAT amounts can be filtered.

Who Is It For
