EU VAT Enhanced turns the rudimentary VAT ID check of Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce into a complete solution for European VAT: online validation via VIES/MIAS, dynamic tax classes independent of the customer group, correct net/gross prices (cross-border trade), OSS and IOSS thresholds, Brexit handling as well as tax-exempt territories.
This documentation refers to the current module version and is organised by topic. Basic Magento knowledge is assumed.

Core features at a glance
- VAT ID validation in real time via the VIES/MIAS interface, with retries, an optional IPv6 workaround and a syntax-based offline fallback.
- Dynamic customer tax class – the correct tax class is derived from the billing or shipping address and the VAT ID, independent of the customer group.
- Real net prices through selectively disabling Magento cross-border trade (non-EU, valid VAT ID, tax-exempt regions, certain groups).
- OSS adjustment, Brexit (£135) and IOSS (€150) including threshold calculation.
- Dynamic shipping tax class – highest rate, largest sum, dominant quantity or proportional calculation.
- Automatic customer group assignment and data transfer from the validation response.
- Tax-exempt territories by region (Canary Islands, Åland, Athos…) or by postcode (Heligoland, Livigno…).
- Norway (MVA) optionally treated as EU-equivalent via the Brønnøysund register.
