EU VAT as per Jan 2015

Hello,

 

I've noticed that the EU VAT Addon populates tax rules for all EU countries with the same VAT percentage. But as of 2015 VAT is calculated depending on the country of origin of the end customer. So it would be nice if the percentages where automatically populated with the correct values: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/taxation/vat/how_vat_works/rates/vat_rates_en.pdf

 

I also ran into the question what happens when i tick "Deduct Tax Amount" under tax rules and use inclusive taxation and have rules with different VAT percentages (for each EU country) and the customer is let's assume US based. By what percentage will the price be lower (highest VAT percentage, lowest, ideally I would be able to specify my "home/default" VAT percentage somewhere).

WHMCS are reluctant to do this...

I have personally suggested to the development team that automatically creating the rules with the individual VAT rates for each EU country would be one of the ways we could make life easier for our users.

 

However we do have to consider that should a country change their VAT rate right after we've released an update, it could potentially be a few months before the next release in which that could be incorporated.

 

to save typing them in manually, there is SQL code available that can add the current EU VAT rates to the correct database table.

Thx that SQL Statement really saved me some time. :-)

 

As of the second part of the question: I've tried it out. The end price for us customers is deducted by 20% (maybe because that is the first tax rate in tbe table now. 19% for germany would be better in my case.)

Yes DE is specified as my home country. But I think that only affects business customers specifying the UID/VAT-ID. If they are based in germany like me I would still need to charge them 19% VAT.

 

I've exchanged GB and DE at the top of the table and now US customers get a 19% reduced end price. Thats OK for me. :-)
