Show prices in shop with VAT caculated according to the geo location?

This is not a current feature (either advertised, or actual). I was intending to work on that this morning, if your other requests had not come in. ??

In the worst-case scenario, on 31 Dec, you can purchase this:

I’m only trying to help. I hope, you will still be able to implement it, I would like to avoid to have to mess with another plugin. It seems that the one you linked to will only use US$ as base currency as well…

Hi,

Diego’s plugin will work with any base currency. Furthermore, Diego is the #1 multi-currency expert for WooCommerce, and has authored several plugins that help with multi-currency situations. I use one of his solutions to sell in multiple currencies on simbahosting.co.uk and updraftplus.com.

David

Multi currency is one thing, but for me it would be more relevant to show US customers the prices without VAT and the EU customers the prices including their individual VAT. The can all be in €. Displaying the end prices including the appropriate VAT is mandatory by law in the EU.

Hi,

The plugin linked handles that fully. I mentioned the *extra* possibilities only for information/interest.

David

This feature (prices shown with VAT calculated according to the geo location) has now been released – https://www.simbahosting.co.uk/s3/woocommerce-eu-vat-compliance-1-6-0-released/

Requires WooCommerce 2.2.9 or later.

David

Thank you very much. I’m still testing.
Currently my shop is configured to add a suffix (“incl. VAT”) after each price, to meet legal requirements.
Of course this label is static and doesn’t change, if someone from a 3rd party country gets the prices displayed without VAT.

I’d like to remove that static label, but this would require your plugin to display the added VAT and Country dynamically under the price, like “(Incl. VAT (Germany)”. Displaying the country would be very important as well to avoid misunderstandings.

I will then add a sentence on each shop page telling the customer that prices/VAT are being calculated depending on their location and may be subject to change when they check out and provide their invoicing data.

I know that you think, you are finished, but this is still a big issue!

We are forced by law to make the prices transparent to the end user in the shop. Currently a virtual VAT calculated by the IP adress is being added but not explained on the product site. We cannot add a static text here anymore.

We’d need this additional Label near the price indicating that a certain VAT is included, like “23,23 € Incl. VAT (Germany)”

Thank you!

@gunther12 I’m the author of the Tax Display plugin (i.e. I’m the “Diego” that David mentioned). The plugin he linked works exactly as you describe, and it allows to show a different suffix depending on where the customer is located. For example, you can display “incl. VAT” for all EU countries, or “inc. VAT (Germany)” for Germany, “incl. VAT (Austria)” for Austria, and so on (see sample screenshot).

I’m aware that you would rather not “mess” with another plugin, but I can assure you that the Tax Display plugin does its job quite nicely (it has been on the market for months now).

By the way, I’m not trying to steer away customers from David. We both have our own EU VAT solutions, but we work on them together and in parallel. ??

I’ve added a new feature to the upcoming 1.6.3 release:

You can now enter special values in WooCommerce’s ‘Price display suffix’ field: anything enclosed in between {iftax} and {/iftax} will only be added if the item has taxes; and within that tag, you can use the special value {country} to show the country that tax was calculated using.

Example: this will show “incl. VAT”, only if there actually was some:

{iftax}incl. VAT{/iftax}

More complicated example: this will show incl. VAT (country), e.g. “incl. VAT (France)”, if there actually was any tax:

{iftax}incl. VAT ({country}){/iftax}

Marking this resolved now.

David

P.S. Also note – there’s a widget available, which was the intended way of indicating to the customer the country being used to calculate VAT. You can find it in Appearance -> Widgets.

David

Thank you, this is great!!

hi folks, i may be wrong here … however, perhaps you can help solving my case …

i am using the polylang plugin to have my web presence ammended with multilanguage capabilities. On my product page, there is just one way to say the price includes VAT by adding “incl. VAT” in the according preferences field.

Now, “incl. VAT” is english and I wanted it to be dependant on the currently selected language, i.e. if the language selected is german, it should say “inkl. MwSt.” instead. Is there any way to accomplish that?

If this question was discussed somewhere else, I would appreciated if some of you could point me there.

thanks for considering a response.

best, Oliver

Although my plugin is a competitor of this one, I can share the solutions I found for mine, as I was working on this just recently.

Option 1: WPML configuration file.
Option 2: using the functions pll__() and pll_register_string().

For reference, once configured correctly, the messages will appear like this: https://prntscr.com/7kev7a. Then it just becomes a matter of translating them one by one.

Thanks Diego, I will haev a look at that.
