Auto Set Clients as Tax Exempt when they fill in a Vat Number/Tax ID

[Sven]

I was wondering if anyone has succesfully implemented the EU VAT exemption support in 4.1.1?

In order to charge tax, you must first enable Tax charges in WHMCS. To do this, go to Setup > Tax Rules and then tick the checkbox at the top of the page labelled Tax Enabled and click Save Changes. Tax is now enabled in WHMCS. Now, you can proceed to setup your tax zones. This is done as follows:

 

1. Click the Add New Tax Rule tab on the Tax Setup page

2. In the Name field, enter a name for the tax zone which allows you to identify it

3. Next, for the Country, choose where this tax rate applies to all countries or whether it only applies to a selected country

4. For the state, again you can choose whether it applies to all states in the selected country or only a selected state

5. Finally, enter the tax rate as a percentage, for example 17.5 and then click the Save Changes button

 

For example, if you were a UK business you would setup the system to charge VAT. In the country field, you would choose "United Kingdom" and for the state you would leave it set at "Apply Rule to All States". You would then enter the tax rate of "17.50" and click the Save Changes button. You can setup an unlimited number of tax rules.

That's a fact. But this topic isn't about taxing zones

My question:

 

We are based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

 

We have customers that pay 5% GST (Canada) and 8% PST(Ontario).

 

Some customers have a PST exempt certificate that they submit to us.

 

And some services are not charged PST.

 

How do we account for the above situations?

 

Thanks.

So because i became so so so so so confused with what everyone was saying about tax in the EU i contacted a commercialist to find out what they had to say.

For thoughs who dont know what a commercialist is its italys answer to accountants who do alot more than just keep your books.

 

Anyway so after speaking to them i am now clear headed and would like to pass on my paid for information lol.

 

So if you're in the EU and you purchase something from, lets say, Holland, you will pay 19% VAT. If your business purchases something, you will still have to pay VAT unless your business is VAT registered.

Important: Do not become VAT registered if your business is not earning £61,000 per year, even if you wish to escape all the VAT on purchases your business will make. You will lose far more money being VAT registered.

 

what our friend here has said is iligal, if you are providing services and products you MUST charge tax and you MUST be tax registered, there are different levels of tax registration and its generaly automated to your annual turnover. So if you are running a business you MUST be tax registered.

 

Obviously, if you reside in the EU and you purchase something from a company outside of the EU, you are not liable to pay for any tax whatsoever.

 

This is dependent on if tax is exclusive or inclusive. If it is Exclusive you can request that the tax be removed, if you do not request tax removal than you are screwed and have to pay it.

 

Same with any company who is based in the EU and buy from other EU contries. You must eather supply your tax code where available or contact the company telling them your tax number and give them your business information so they can nock off the tax.

 

This does not work for internal tax. I.E i buy something from an italian service provider, i still have to provide a tax number but this just gives me the opertunity to claim it back at the end of the year on my UNICO. (End of year tax shiz)

 

I think i have covered everything but by god it was confusing the crap out of me

Rubbish!!! You only have to be VAT registered if over a certain limit.

 

You may have different rules in your country, but as far as I can tell this person was refering to the UK.

[ChrisGooding]

Correct.

 

Within the UK, you only need to be VAT registered if your turnover exceeds £61,000 per annum

I guess this thread is not realy needed anymore.

 

Open vatnumbervalidation.php in the current download WHMCS and follow instructions to nicely include/exclude VAT for the european countries.

Hello,

I have to implement a different method for applying VAT for EU citizents.

 

I have a custom field "check-box" to allow the customer to choose if he wants to receive invoice (for companies) or receipt (for individuals). ...Yes we have 2 different types in Greece...

 

So, I have implemented a VAT type for EU citizens but it just not apply any VAT if the selected country is in EU.

 

The problem is that it must charge VAT if the customer is in EU and he has not the check-box selected.

 

The custom filed has the ID "customfield10" and the name "customfield[10]"

 

Any idea how to implement this?
