Add extra note to invoices when VAT is not charged in EU

I was just checking this functionality and I have VAT SHIFTED on the invoice when I use the invoice plugin in combination with their UK/EU VAT number manager plugin which seems to do the right tricks

@bytefarmer will try that!

Thank you ??

While translating I checked the source code of the plugin and it will also store this text as metadata on the invoice object. In case you use another plugin to generate the PDF.

Only drawback is that in our country we need a specific sentence and I need to translate the original English string as well in orde to comply with regulations here.

@bytefarmer same for us here in Spain, we need a specific sentence.

What is the English string you are talking about?

/plugins/eu-vat-for-woocommerce/includes/class-alg-wc-eu-vat-core.php line 466

echo get_option( 'alg_wc_eu_vat_advanced_vat_shifted_text', __( 'VAT SHIFTED', 'eu-vat-for-woocommerce' ) );

So you can translate this string in the WPML String Translation tool, but not the English version afaik

Other options in this plugin are translatable. Eg if you go to the main options under the EU VAT Number tab in Woocommerce you see the first option for label for VAT number, there you can enter

[alg_wc_eu_vat_translate lang="EN" lang_text="VAT number" lang="FR" lang_text="Numéro TVA" not_lang_text="BTW Nummer"]

in the text box for the label and it will translate the field accordingly. A bit of strange way of working but it works…

Hi Daniel,

I hope you’re doing well! Thank you for reaching out to us.

You can add a note regarding the acceptance of the tax number on your invoice by navigating to:

WooCommerce → Settings → Admin & Advanced → VAT Shifted Text. You’ll be able to edit the text there.
