searching for woocommerce plugin

Hi guardiano78,

you could use a paid extension for Flexible Invoices for WordPress plugin, designed for WooCommerce that has such option. You can set different tax rate e.g. MOSS for virtual products and services. If a customer has got a valid VAT EU number such annotation is added and VAT is not included on the invoice. If a customer is a person without VAT number, the appropriate country VAT is settled.
The standalone free version allows you to issue invoices manually outside WooCommerce. You can choose tax rates and add a note reverse charge on an invoice. The add-on will give you such option to work automatically with WooCommerce orders

Hi tomasz_bednarek,
thank you for the suggestion, unfortunately it’s not what I’m looking for.

I don’t need a plugin to create the invoice.
I need the plugin to act on the cart and consequences in the checkout, setting the right prices.

I try to explain myself better.
The “Reverse Charge Law” acts only on some product categories and is allowed only for some types of B2B customers.

I give a practical example.
I am selling a CPU Intel i7 for €. 100.00 + VAT.

If the buyer owns a VAT number to sell computers, he will pay the product only €. 100.00 (without paying VAT);
If, on the other hand, the buyer has a VAT number to sell clothing, he will pay the product €. 100.00 + VAT;
Even the buyer who has no VAT number will pay the product €. 100.00 + VAT;

So the plugin I’m looking for must set an exempt VAT rate only if the category of products is allowed to “Reverse Charge” and at the same time the buyer belongs to a role allowed to “Reverse Charge” (role I created previously with another plugin ).

The problem exists because if a customer pays by credit card or PayPal account, without this system, I would be forced to make a refund and then ask him to pay the correct amount net of undue taxes.
At that point, e-commerce would no longer make much sense.

I understand that it is complicated, but unfortunately it is necessary.
I hope to be able to solve, perhaps thanks to someone in the forum who has already addressed this topic.

Thank you.

Hi @guardiano78,

For this use case, there are plugins EU VAT Number plugins out there that allow you to waive the VAT if a user provides their VAT Number. A few examples:

– https://woocommerce.com/products/eu-vat-number/
– https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/eu-vat-for-woocommerce/

However, there is no option to enforce VAT based on category or user role. This would require custom work. If you require custom work, there are a few services we recommend here: https://woocommerce.com/customizations/

Hi yukikatayama,
thank you so much for suggestions.

I has an idea.
I just make a function that change option “vat included” or “vat excluded” role based… it works!!

My idea is to do a similar function for Reverse Charge.
I explane the concept:
in Italy for example, i setted this tax rates:
Name — Rate
Standard — 22%
10 — 10%
4 — 4%
E17 — 0% (Reverse Charge)

IF (the product belong to a specific product category AND the user logged in belong to a specific role) THEN i change his tax rate to E17.

in your opinion, is this applicable?

thank you.
