    Hello earlier we are using below code to remove Vat when customer is from outside of UK, now we are using free version of this plugin into our site, and we want to make below code to work with when someone change currency to another for i.e. USD, then we want to remove VAT. Can you advise on this, any hook/action/filter is available for this?

    function extempt_vat_for_non_eu_firms($post_data)
{
	WC()->customer->set_is_vat_exempt(false);

	parse_str($post_data, $output);

	$countries_without_vat = array('US', 'AU', 'JE', 'AD', 'AL', 'AT', 'AX', 'BA', 'BE', 'BG', 'BY', 'CH', 'CZ', 'DE', 'DK', 'EE', 'ES', 'FI', 'FO', 'FR', 'GG', 'GI', 'GR', 'HR', 'HU', 'IE', 'IM', 'IS', 'IT', 'JE', 'LI', 'LT', 'LU', 'LV', 'MC', 'MD', 'ME', 'MK', 'MT', 'NL', 'NO', 'PL', 'PT', 'RO', 'RS', 'RU', 'SE', 'SI', 'SJ', 'SK', 'SM', 'TR', 'UA', 'VA', 'CA');

	if ($output['ship_to_different_address'] == 1) {
		if (in_array($output['shipping_country'], $countries_without_vat)) {
			WC()->customer->set_is_vat_exempt(true);
		}
	} else {
		if (in_array($output['billing_country'], $countries_without_vat)) {
			WC()->customer->set_is_vat_exempt(true);
		}
	}
}
add_action('woocommerce_checkout_update_order_review', 'extempt_vat_for_non_eu_firms');

    Hello we are looking for that specific action hook, in which we can add above code so that it will look like below code.

    function vat_removal_function()
{
	// check for currency //

	// remove vat code goes here //
}
add_action('hook_that_will_trigger_when_currancy_change', 'vat_removal_function');

    Hi,

    In this case, you need this currency converter function: wmc_get_price

    Depending on your specific requirements, you may also need to use additional hooks to make this function work effectively and adjust on your own.

    Best regards.
