详情介绍:
- Adds a VAT number field to the block checkout, the classic checkout, My Account and the admin order screen. Numbers are checked for format first, then against the official registry.
- Registries: VIES for EU numbers, HMRC for GB numbers (needs your own free HMRC developer credentials, see the FAQ), the Swiss UID register for CHE numbers and the Brønnøysund register for Norwegian numbers.
- Applies reverse charge to B2B sales with a valid number, with the wording required on the order, emails and invoice text (filterable and translatable). A valid number from your own country never exempts unless you switch that on.
- Charges B2C customers your country's VAT below the EUR 10,000 OSS threshold and the destination country's VAT above it, switching automatically. You can also tell the plugin you're OSS-registered to always charge destination VAT.
- Digital products use location evidence (billing country, shipping country and geolocation). When the evidence conflicts, the customer can be asked to confirm their country.
- Imports standard and reduced rates from the EU's TEDB into your WooCommerce tax classes. It shows a diff first and never changes a rate until you apply it. A tax class mapping screen sets which EU rate each class follows, per country.
- Optional fixed gross prices across EU countries for stores that enter prices with tax.
- Records the decision on every order: the number, the registry answer, the VIES consultation number when you've entered your own VAT number, the location evidence and the rule that applied. An EU VAT box on the order screen shows it, with a decision log and a button to re-check the number.
- Re-checks numbers that couldn't be validated at checkout and can email you when one validates after the order was placed.
- Quarterly OSS return and EC Sales List reports with CSV export, in EUR. Orders in other currencies are converted at the ECB reference rate.
- REST endpoints for both reports and for the VAT data of a single order, restricted by capability.
- A setup check lists what's missing: your VAT number, tax rates for destination countries, geolocation and HMRC credentials.
- Works with HPOS and with the block and classic checkouts. Integrates with WooCommerce Subscriptions renewal hooks, see the FAQ.
- Registers WordPress personal data exporters and erasers, and a retention setting for the stored data.
安装:
- Make sure WooCommerce is active, then install and activate VAT Right.
- Go to WooCommerce > Settings > General and tick "Enable tax rates and calculations". WooCommerce hides the Tax tab until you do.
- Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Tax > VAT Right and read the setup check.
- Enter your store VAT number so VIES can return a consultation number for each check.
- Apply the EU rates in the rates table at the bottom of the screen, or map your tax classes first.

常见问题:
What happens when VIES is down?
Checkout still works. By default the order is accepted, VAT is charged and the order is flagged as pending validation. The plugin checks the number again later and, if it validates, marks the order and can email you so you can refund the VAT. The setting "When a registry is unavailable" offers two alternatives: accept the order, exempt the VAT and re-check later, or don't accept the order. Registry requests time out after a few seconds.
How do I validate UK VAT numbers?
HMRC only answers requests that carry credentials from a registered application, so you need your own. They're free.
- Create an account at the HMRC Developer Hub.
- Register an application and subscribe it to the VAT Registered Companies API (check a UK VAT number).
- Copy the client ID and client secret from the application.
- Paste them into WooCommerce > Settings > Tax > VAT Right > HMRC.
Does it work with WooCommerce Subscriptions?
The plugin hooks into the WooCommerce Subscriptions renewal and switch hooks. A renewal is decided as a new sale: the subscription's stored registry answer is reused while it's fresh, otherwise the number is checked again, and the decision is stored on the renewal order. If a renewal can't be decided, VAT is charged. This has been tested against a stand-in for the Subscriptions hooks, not against the WooCommerce Subscriptions plugin itself.
What personal data does the plugin store, and for how long?
It stores the customer's VAT number, the registry's name, address and consultation number for it, and the IP country evidence used for digital sales, on the order, in the plugin's ledger table and, for logged-in customers, in their account. After the retention period (10 years by default, counted from the end of the year of the sale, which matches the OSS record-keeping period) the plugin removes the personal data from the decision record and ledger rows and keeps the scheme, rule, amounts and country evidence. Exporters and erasers are registered with the WordPress privacy tools. All plugin data is kept when you delete the plugin, unless you tick "Delete all plugin data when the plugin is deleted".
Which services does the plugin call?
See "External services" below. Nothing else is contacted, and the plugin makes no request unless a VAT number, a rate update or a currency conversion needs it.
Are there known limitations?
Each of these errs on the side of charging VAT.
- Consulting, legal, advertising and similar services to consumers outside the EU (Article 59 of the VAT Directive) are charged your store's VAT.
- Business customers in the UK are treated as consumers unless you add your own HMRC API credentials. Swiss and Norwegian numbers that can't be checked at checkout are charged VAT until they're re-checked.
- In a cart that's partly exempt because of a domestic exemption, the exempt line is charged VAT.
- On carts in a currency other than EUR, the threshold display updates at checkout, not on every cart recalculation.
