Value Added Tax / Goods and Services Tax

The add-on enables you to configure the Value Added Tax in your store if you're running your business in the EU (VAT), the UK (VAT), Australia (GST) and other countries with alike tax systems. Please note that the US-based stores should use the Sales Tax addon and Canada-based stores should use the Canadian Taxes addon.

This add-on allows to define the VAT for customers with certain membership level and from certain destination zone. The VAT value is calculated for each product according to the applicable tax rate, and the total VAT sum is displayed on the cart page.

The VAT amount is defined as a %tax rate for the specified membership level and destination zone and varies depending on the product class.

The add-on supports VAT numbers, i.e. if a buyer has a valid VAT id (your X-Cart store validates it online via the Vatlayer and Vies web services), tax would not be applied to their order.
