EU VAT Enhanced for Magento

17 Review(s) | Add Your Review

EU VAT Enhanced improves the capabilities of Magento when it comes to business-to-business transactions within the European Union. It can control how and for whom VAT is charged. It replaces the Magento core VAT number validation functionality introduced in Magento 1.7 with its own, also to give your business partners a better feedback. Placing an order with 0% VAT is possible for guests and registered customers, totally independent of the customer group.

  • Installer for standard VAT configuration in EU countries
  • Instant feedback for the customer about the VAT number validation result
  • Customized algorithm to determine the customer tax class and customer group
  • Mature Magento extension with many comfort options, compatibile with virtually all other third party extensions

Save your time and development cost and just use the evolved solution trusted by many other merchants and agencies which is constantly improved.

Compatible with Magento-CE: 1.7.x, 1.8.x, 1.9.x

During the period you have access to free email support and you can download the latest version. You can extend the period at any time (no subscription).

Any custom project reference like your clients name or project number.

    A real time saver

    I work at a digital agency and deal with a number of Magento sites, the majority of our clients have a B2B feature on their website, all of which use this module. It makes what is normally a tedious process a breeze; much better than native Magento functionality!

    Excellent plugin and support.

    Excellent plugin, works with minimal setup. We used automatic settings which created the rules needed to apply the EU VAT rules. Support to help with a couple of technical problems was comprehensive and very quick. Thank you!

    Great support, great extension

    Very good extension, our own theme on 1.9 posed a lot of problems because the used files are still from 1.6, so many things are missing. Support was very good and always fast, many mails were exchanged. Got it working in the end like a charm. Would recommend!

    Works well out of the box

    Works well out of the box with CE1.9.2. Good documentation and great support. Automated set up is spot on. You may find you want to delete existing tax zone rates in which case this little module will help you https://github.com/GetCommerce/Magento-Mass-Delete-Magento-Tax-Zones-Rates

    Excellent customer service

    Configuring and getting VAT to work in Magento can be daunting, especially with an EU business. This Magento extension gets your checkout working perfectly, with auto lookups to validate business VAT numbers. A fantastic extension with OUTSTANDING support from Sven, who went over and above what was required to get our unique one page checkout integrated and working with the extension for us. HIGHLY recommended! I wish all developers offered such great customer service. Thank you

    Very good service

    We have this extension for a few months now. After we did something the extension wasn't working anymore. After contacting Sven, we had very fast response. He looked at the problem by making a account etc. Suddenly the extension worked again, without any problems. Maybe some cache problem. However we were surprised by the fast response and ready to help us out. Need this extension, just by this one!

    Install, Setup, Forget!

    After purchasing and installing the module, setting everything up was easy. The documentation was very detailed on every step: creating tax groups, customer groups, helping us setting up the tax settings correctly for our country, etc. The module functions like it should. It notifies the customer like it should. Install, Setup, Forget!
