VAT issue

[emilian]

I need to charge VAT for customers inside the European Union.

How would I begin implementing this type of tax?

@miraculixx I found a way to do it. Just modify the TaxProcessor class in the shop/processors.py file. You can add something like this to the process method:

if order.billing_country in ['COUNTRY_CODES']:
    item.tax_rate = TAX_RATE
else:
    item.tax_rate = 0

Alternatively you could subclass ProcessorBase and implement a custom VAT processor. Just remember to add it to settings.PLATA_ORDER_PROCESSORS.

@emilian Yes, subclassing ProcessorBase and adding the class to PLATA_ORDER_PROCESSORS is the intended way to do this.
