VAT - with and without

Hi,

I know it has been discussed before and there is a contrib module for this but after reading everything I still don't know what would be the best way to do this.

We are inside the EU and we want to sell worldwide so the rules are the following

- Add VAT if selling in the EU to private person
- If buyer enters VAT number (company inside EU), do not add VAT, include VAT numbers on invoice
- No VAT when buyer is outside the EU

So what would be the most convenient _and_customer_friendly_ way to implement this?

I might make a contrib module if needed.

Any comments appreciated,
thanks in advance

Hey Tom, I'm not up to speed with what folks are using on the latest version, but I know zmove has made and is using a VAT contrib. You might give that a test drive before starting from scratch.

Hi Tom,

I am developing a store in Spain, and that is exactly the functionality that is needed to sell internationally from any country in Europe. I do not find it in any contributed module.

It would be great if you, or someone else, develop that module. Many thanks!

Me too! ...this really is a needed feature here in Europe. Highly appreciated, if someone with the coding skills is willing to cook up an Ubercart module for this (or extend the existing ones) As a non-coder I can donate something if it helps... and of course I'll buy a beer here in Spain for the developer!
