How to exclude some territories outside VAT Area?

Hi,

Thank you. I’m aware of these exceptions, but it’s hard to justify prioritising them over other features. (No offence to the residents of the Canary Islands!). If you were willing to produce a comprehensive WooCommerce tax table (standard + reduced), and CSV export it, and place a link here, then that would help.

As to whether geo-location can detect them, that is hard to say. Googling “faroe islands IP address” seems to suggest that MaxMind can. Though, if someone’s billing address differs from their geo-detected country, then the premium version of this plugin currently asks the user to choose between them, so that is already covered. It’s just entering it into your tax table that’s not yet covered.

Actually, since the Faroe Islands are not part of the EU, and because they have their own ISO 3166 country code separate from Denmark, there’s no danger of them being erroneously charged VAT using the current version of the tables in this plugin anyway. WooCommerce is entirely ignorant of any relationship between the Faroe Islands and Denmark, including when it comes to tax tables. Since the free version of this plugin uses billing address to determine location, there’s no issue for the Faroes.

Best wishes,
David

I’m going to close this now, as it’s unlikely to be looked at any time soon.

If you have specific within-country regions (e.g. Canary Islands) you want to enter in your WooCommerce tax tables, then you can do this manually – this plugin won’t, for now, update any entries you make using its own knowledge of current EU VAT rates; but, this does not prevent the user from manually entering + changing them.
