Hi,
Could you please advise how to configure an OpenCart 3.0.2 the following:
Allow Business clients located outside the Store country location to purchase products without being charged VAT TAX.
For local Businesses ( i.e. same as Store country location) and all Private clients (in ANY location) to be charged VAT TAX.
Users should be able to see this detail in their order at checkout.
Something similar to this:
With VAT TAX ( for all private clients and local businesses)
Sub-Total: €10.00
Flat Shipping Rate: €5.00
VAT 20%: €3.00
Total: €18.00
Without VAT TAX (for businesses outside store country location)
Sub-Total: €10.00
Flat Shipping Rate: €5.00
VAT 0%: €0.00
Total: €15.00
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi,
Let's say you want to apply VAT for customers from Country X; and NO vat for others;
In this case go to Admin > System > Localisation > Geo Zones and add new zone like this:
- name : MyZoneX
- description: some description
- countries: here add your country (or countries) where you plan to add VAT.
SAVE
Go to System > Localisation > Taxes > Tax Rates > find VAT > edit ( By default VAT tax is available - if is not available you can add it)
- tax name: VAT (or how you want to call it)
- tax rate: 5 or 10 or value you want (5 = 5% VAT)
- type: percentage
- customer group: here select customer group(s) where you want to apply this tax (Business, Private - aasuming you have this 2 groups of customers)
- Geo Zone: select geozone "MyZoneX" definded in previous step
Please notice: while customer is not logged, OpenCart doens't have (by default) to know if customer is from country X or Y or from customer group Z
Wish you many sales!

Hello,
I have noticed the OpenCart 3x does not allow you to choose ZERO VAT for a specific created group.
so, how can you trick this?
- you have the ZONES..
- You create the Geo Zones
- You create the Tax Class
- but you cannot create the tax rate of zero VAT
Is there a way to NOT charge the VAT to registered EU companies ?
Thanks in advance.

Correct, 0 (null) is not allowed.

As already answered in your other thread, NOT charging VAT to registered EU companies requires the prior check of their (valid) UID number.
Without that you are not allowed NOT to charge the VAT.
And, per default (check of UID and saving the result of this check, checking which customer group the customer is [IS Business AND has a valid UID]) with OpenCart is not possible.
Requires some additional coding.
