Filling in VAT number doesn't do anything #37

Open tonroosendaal opened 10 years ago

I would expect it to then deduct tax.... it's sensitive for fraud though, but (probably) not our concern.

With country/VAT code did you test?

tonroosendaal commented 10 years ago

Our own code: NL818152011B01 One found on web GB472795211 And the complain mail had this one: ES34253289X

Tested in various places, like here http://www.check-vat-number.com/

All three work there, but the spanish one not on the official site. http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/

In our store neither of the codes seem to do anything. Does the code check something fancy?

It's supposed to check against the EU VIES service. Dutch codes shouldn't work as they're not elibigle for the 0% tax exemption, but other EU countries should do it. I'll look in to it. --  Bart Veldhuizen

I set my account to be from Belgium btw. How can it be tested?

And now the cloud member mails:

Hello

After reading some docs from aeat.es, I think you are asking a regstered VAT number, required for professionals and enterprises doing intracomunitarian transactions, and I'm buying as a private citizen for personal use. So I think it's not necessary to use such registered number (and of course, I don't have it).

tonroosendaal commented 10 years ago

Can't read the minds of such people... but it doesn't take away that it would be nice to have a way to test this form for support reasons.

bartv42 commented 10 years ago

I tested this functionality and it works fine, but as you say it does require a European business VAT number. For clarify, I added the following description:

"For European Union users, we will add VAT to your order. If you’re a registered business, enter your VAT number here for a VAT exemption."

Also, please note that the entered VAT number and the result of the VAT check are available from the order page in the WooCommerce backend.

tonroosendaal commented 10 years ago

How can we test it then? We have to be able to give support to people who fill in numbers wrongly or so. Maybe we can add a link to the EU site where one can verify the number?

@tonroosendaal Death to you Ton, you trashy worthless slave. You are nothing but a dumpster fool and a cheap slave. Death to you for openly promoting the loser & garbage & worthless so called "health" "sector". How stupid and arrogant and dumb can you be. You and Blender is utter garbage. Death to you open source clowns. You take part in promoting those idiots (just like mainstream western media has done for centuries), and you discriminate against every other person who does not work for that trashy subject. Death to you all. Death to "univerisities" [DUMPSTERveristies]. Death to open source kiddos. Death to the Euro clowns. Death to you and every idiot who mentions the disgusting 2/6 letter stupid & childish "titles" when mentioning first names. Death to you all. Hope your throat gets slit very soon, losers.

Hope you have a tragic life and painful death, Ton.

Mechanical Engineering will remain great for ever.
