Reduced Tax Rate

I figured out how to implement the last question, it’s just a matter of setting the options in WC tax settings ??

Aside from that, I also wanted to ask two other things on top of the questions above:
1. I see GB on the tax list, but since they are no longer in EU, shouldn’t they be taken off and not charged VAT? Or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hi there,

What happens when a customer visits from a country that doesn’t have a reduced rate for such products, i.e. Denmark?

Right now there is only a fallback for greater and super-reduced tax classes to fallback to the reduced class. Currently only Denmark does not have a reduced tax class. I’ve added an additional fallback for this case: https://github.com/vendidero/one-stop-shop-woocommerce/commit/a40c6c5f79c4e2f059401d4bf00dbc09f5387dcb

GB is a special case as Northern Ireland needs to be supported via special postcode-detection.

Cheers

Ah great, that makes sense.

So the fallback will be in the next update or do I need to add it manually somehow? Or should I just a special rate for Denmark in a product? Fallback would be much easier though as I wouldn’t need to edit each product ??

I love how granular you did the tax rates, taking into account exempt rates for some post codes, kudos!

Will be part of the next update.

Nice to hear ?? If you like the plugin, feel free to add a review.

Cheers!

Will do!

Do you have any ETA on the update? So I know should I wait before implementation from the staging site to the live site, or just go right ahead ??

Not yet, but we publish updates quite regularly. You might apply the patch yourself (by replacing the file with the master file from github) to use the patch right away.

Great, thank you!

Btw, I’ve noticed it says Italy has 5% reduced rate VAT, but books are 4%, so it should probably be fixed. Haven’t checked the others yet ??

Edit: I believe 8 countries don’t have the correct book VAT rate under the reduced rate, which is understandable, since many countries have books at a different rate. Should I just edit the imported rates from your plugin? Or create a special rate and leave the rest be? I think the latter is the best course of action, but will your plugin automatically overwrite these rates at any point?

Thanks!

Sorry, I think I get it now… There are 4 groups, but since each country classifies products under different rates, it’s best to hunt down each country and then edit the product for those specific countries, i.e. Italy has 4% VAT on books, so best to set it on product level, while most countries have books under “reduced rate” so that can be a global setting.

Just writing it here in case someone else finds themselves in a similar situation ?? All rates are there, but if your product falls under reduced category, you’re going to have to hunt it down and set exceptions on product level. I had to set up 7 exceptions for books: Denmark, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Ireland and Italy. Fortunately, not that many products on our webshop, would be a pain for someone who has thousands, though.

Cheers!

Yes, unfortunately there is no way to detect that automagically ??

Cheers

This works as well ?? It would be good if there was a way to set a preset for exceptions that could be added to all products then, instead of going one by one, but not sure whether that is doable from your plugin ??
