Validation of tax numbers in PrestaShop

With the module, your store will be prepared for national and European Union regulations. Your B2B and B2C sales will always have the correct VAT value charged.

An incorrect or inactive VAT or VAT number can generate costs due to sales without VAT, accounting adjustments or wasted time contacting the buyer and correcting the data.

The module will automatically detect address forms in your PrestaShop store and will validate the field for tax number that customers complete when placing an order.

1. The module will block the invoice data form from being saved if the tax number has an error, is inactive or suspended.
2. The customer will be informed of any errors found in the tax number and will receive a link to official validation tools, such as the VIES system.
3. If the customer provides an incorrect tax number he will be able to shop in your store as a private person with VAT charged. Then you will issue him a receipt or a named invoice.

You will check the operation of this module during your order in our store :-)

Choose your home country

In the configuration of the module, select the home country of your store. Orders placed by traders from countries other than your home country, if they pass validation, can automatically be subject to 0% VAT.

You can set a different home country for each store in the multistore.

Supports all tax numbers in the European region

The module validates all tax numbers in the Europe region:

• NIP (Poland)
• VAT, VAT-UE (EU countries)
• Company number, VAT-UK (England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland).

Validation of the entered tax number involves checking its authenticity on 5 levels, including :

• Calculating the checksum and correcting the entry
• In the official VIES system
• In the VatApp system
• In the official GOV.UK database
• In the official database of the Ministry of Finance

If the remote validation services are working properly the validation of the authenticity of the number is done immediately. The module skips validation in inaccessible sources and validates with the remaining methods.

Automation of the 0% VAT rate in the European Union

VAT charge to B2C sales and domestic B2B sales.

VAT 0% applies to entities from outside the home country with an active tax number.

If the tax number does not pass validation, the customer will have to place the order, as a private person, and the corresponding VAT will be charged to him. The module will display the appropriate messages to him.

Validation in real time

The validation process takes place in real time and does not require reloading the page or saving the form data.

• A valid validation highlights the field in green and allows you to save the form with the invoice data.
• If the tax number is suspended, inactive or errors, the module highlights the field in red and displays the problems found.
• The module corrects the record by removing unnecessary characters and spaces from the number, adds the country code if it detects VAT-EU, etc.

100% correct invoices

Domestic and foreign orders with incorrectly completed tax number can generate a loss through wrongly calculated tax to the order.

By validating the tax number provided by the customer, you are guaranteed not to lose out on VAT. Your integrations with external ERP programs, etc. will receive an active and correctly formatted tax number.

Date and time of tax number verification = date of order.
