Quick start

What it does. Charges VAT for the EU country (or the UK) you ship to, with reverse charge for business buyers who give a valid VAT number. While it is off, orders to the EU and UK are charged no tax.

Who can use it

  • Off until you switch it on.
  • Your plan decides whether you can use it. The module card in Settings → Modules shows Not in your plan (with See plans) or Paid add-on (with Buy add-on) when it is not included. The features list shows which plans include it.

Switch it on

  1. In your admin, open Settings → Modules.
  2. Find EU VAT Tax. If it is on the Installed tab, click Enable; if not, open the Browse tab and click Install.
  3. Click Configure to change any setting below (the defaults work for most stores).

Switching it off later stops it working but keeps its data, so switching it back on picks up where you left off.

Settings

  • Store VAT ID — Your registered VAT identification number. Used for reverse-charge and OSS reporting.
  • Prices include VAT — EU convention: storefront prices are VAT-inclusive. When ON, the embedded VAT is extracted rather than added on top. Default: on.
