Hey again guys, specially you @jarwu, I hope maybe you can help out;
So I’ve solved the other part (I was forgetting that calculations were made before tax).

But now I encountered another issue.
The rules apply but when it surpasses the 135 gbp limit (I’m also using the currency switcher plugin), tax appears correctly (Tax free) but the price of each product also changes. For instance:
I have a product that is 83,75 GBP before tax;
When someone makes an order of 1 product only, the client pays 83,75GBP + 20% brexit tax = more or less 101 GBP;
When someone buys 2 products, the item price is 2 X 103,50 GBP which is the item price we collect here in Portugal (83,75 GBP + 23% tax) = 103,50 GBP)

So the rule applies since the order is tax free, but the item prices are collected with 23% VAT… I have my shop with shipping address price/tax calculation, prices including VAT and products displaying with VAT included; I have standard rate for EU countries and 20% Brexit tax for the UK and zero rate (for every country that is outside of my European zone. Maybe could this be the issue? What I am missing?

Thanks for your attention and help would be really appreciated!
Cheers,

Hi again!
So, imagine product A that costs 77 GBP and product B that costs 80GBP:
if I add to cart 2X product A (154GBP) or 2x product B (160GBP), I get both prices + 20% Brexit VAT;
if I add product A + product B, I get 157 GBP + 0 % tax.

So in the first situation, I have to add up 1 product A to the cart and then remove it again for the rule to workout.

In the second situation all is fine.

Hi @jarwu , well it was for anyone that could help! I’ve set a 20% Brexit Vat at WC, the 77 GBP product is calculated correctly at 77 + 20% GBP.
The problem is when I add two items of the same product: 2x 77 = 154 GBP which way above 135 GBP, so the rule should be applied; the cart shows 154 GBP + 20 % Brexit VAT when it should show only 154 GBP. When I add another item (the 3rd one of the same item), the rule applies showing VAT exemption.
I then withdraw the 3rd one and the rule is OK as it should be.

When I try it with different product with different prices the rule is also OK.

I have the currency exchange rate update set to every minute, could it influence the cart in any way this?

Thanks for your feedback

Hi @biglesliep thanks for you code!
I’ve been searching around the web for a solution to this question since December and only now I’ve came to this thread.
Since we ship to the UK from within the EU, I went for @jarwu ‘s solution and used the currency switcher plug in to convert Eur to GBP and set the $VAT_limit_Uk = 135.
It all went fine but I’ve encountered an issue:
It only takes 2 of our products to reach the 135 GBP limit; as so, and when I add 2 products with the same variation or same price ( for instance 2X 77 GBP products), the rule does not work and 0% VAT rule doesn’t come up.
Only when I update to 3 products 3×77 GBP, the VAT disappears; when I update the cart again to 2X 77 GBP, the VAT rule applies correctly and VAT for UK is 0%.
I hope I’m not being too confusing… Can you help? ??

Thanks again @biglesliep and @jarwu for your help, it’s good to know that there’s help out there when woo can’t solve this up for themselves.
Cheers,
Luis
