Exceptional Cases for Cities?

Open hanspagel opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I have no clue how all this VAT stuff works, that's why I'm using mpociot/vat-calculator at the moment. I saw that the other package has exceptions for cities:

I didn't see this used in your package. Is this something you should consider? Sorry again for not knowing anything about VAT, but I thought it's something you want to be aware of.

Hey @hanspagel,

Thanks for bringing that up. The few exceptions are all about applying a lower VAT rate than the "normal" VAT rate for that country, so usually a government won't mind if you opt for the higher rate instead (but IANAL).

Obviously, your customer could have issues with this as they're the one paying the VAT but in our case, we have yet to hear a single complaint about this in our 10 years of doing online business.

That said, I'd like to add (optional) support for it in this package in version 2.1.

Ah, you're right. Thanks for your reply! Feel free to close the issue or keep it as a feature request for 2.1.
