Wrong wording

    The current query:
    “For the correct calculation of VAT, please confirm the country which you are currently located in:”
    is not the right wording.
    According to the new EU Vat law, the VAT will be billed for the country where the customer resides, where he spends most of his time. If a German citizen is on vacation in Mallorca, he might be “currently located” there, but the Tax will still have to be calculated for Germany.

    So a better wording would be “your country of residence” or similar.

    I agree – the old wording is based on our understanding at the time it was coded, which has since changed.

    This default will be changed in the next release. However, in the mean-time, you can already over-ride it with the filter: wc_eu_vat_certify_message. On that basis, this issue will be marked resolved.

    i.e. Add this to your functions.php in your child theme, or somewhere else appropriate:

    add_filter(‘wc_eu_vat_certify_message’, ‘my_wc_eu_vat_certify_message’);
    function my_wc_eu_vat_certify_message($m) { return ‘My new self-certification message’; }
