Allow GB users to enter VAT number

    Hi,
    Checking to see if following scenario is possible: we currently have no VAT rate defined for GB, and so no VAT is charged to individuals or companies if billing address is GB. After chats with accountant, we’d now like to charge VAT to GB individuals, but still allow GB companies to enter a VAT number and have VAT removed. When we add a GB rate, the option to enter a VAT number does not appear when UK country is selected.

    Is there any way to handle this scenario?

    Thanks ??

    The behaviour you described is correct. The EU VAT Assistant doesn’t support UK VAT numbers, so it won’t be able to validate them. We had planned to release an addon (paid) for the EU VAT Assistant, to add such feature, but a series of events led us to change our plans.

    As indicated in the FAQs for the EU VAT Assistant, we are planning to retire this plugin, and replace it with a new one, which will include additional features, such as support for UK VAT numbers and better support for the new IOSS regulations. That solution is still in development, and it will be available from our site when ready.

    If you need a solution quickly, you can get in touch via our contact form, and we can see if we can help you with just the UK VAT number validation.
