tax exempt user role (members plugin + set_is_vat_exempt)

Hi everyone,

Huge WooCommerce fan and supporter here. It’s the only shopping solution I have been recommending for years now A+++ 5 stars!!

Currently, I am building a new site for a client and just need a little help trying to get one of these code snippets below to work with the Members plugin which I am using to assign roles to customers. All I have is 1 Role which is the Dealer Role which I am trying to make tax exempt.

1. This code did not work for me.
https://gist.github.com/kloon/5948116

// Place the following code in your theme’s functions.php file and replace tax_exempt_role with the name of the role to apply to

add_action( ‘init’, ‘woocommerce_customer_tax_exempt’ );
function woocommerce_customer_tax_exempt() {
global $woocommerce;
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$tax_exempt = current_user_can( ‘dealer’);
$woocommerce->customer->set_is_vat_exempt( $tax_exempt );
}
}

Next, I also created a Zero Tax rate in WooCommerce and tried this code:

2. This code did not work for me either

/* No tax for dealer */
function zero_rate_for_custom_user_role( $tax_class, $product ) {
// Getting the current user
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user_data = get_userdata($current_user->ID);

// <== <== <== <== <== <== <== Here you put your user role slug
if ( in_array( ‘dealer’, $current_user_data->roles ) )
$tax_class = ‘Zero Rate’;

return $tax_class;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_product_get_tax_class’, ‘wc_diff_rate_for_user’, 10, 2 );
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_product_variation_get_tax_class’, ‘wc_diff_rate_for_user’, 10, 2 );

3. I also tried this code and unfortunately that doesnt work either.

/* Tax Exemption */
add_action( 'init', 'woocommerce_tax_exempt' );
global $woocommerce;
function woocommerce_customer_tax_exempt() {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$tax_exempt = current_user_can( ‘dealer’ );
$woocommerce->customer->set_is_vat_exempt( $tax_exempt );
    }
}

4. Tax exemption for non-logged in users, also doesnt work. What is going on???

add_action( 'init', 'wc_tax_exempt_unlogged' );
function wc_tax_exempt_unlogged() {

    // Getting user data for logged users
    if( is_user_logged_in() ){
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $current_user_id = $current_user->ID;
        $current_user_roles = $current_user->roles;
        $bilal_id = 0;
    }

    // Exempting of VAT non logged users, customers and the main admin ID (you)
    if( ! is_user_logged_in() || in_array( 'customer', $current_user_roles ) || $bilal_id == $current_user_id ){
        WC()->customer->set_is_vat_exempt(true);
    }
}

Did anything happen during one of the latest updates or maybe the Members plugin is using some sort of prefix when assigning user roles. It’s starting to get a little frustrating.

Any chance you guys can tweak one of the code snippets above? This is the first time that I try 4 different snippets with 0 zero results. ??

Please help!

Thanks much in advance!

Jimmy
