    Hi all

    EU VAT Moss rules require one to capture a single piece of location data when selling a digital good/service to an EU client (evidence from the client cannot be used in this case). Technically clients should also be allowed to add their VAT number, which, if determined to be valid, should 0 rate the VAT charge.

    I have two questions around this.

    1. With respect to location data, does Revindex capture the clients IP address (and country of origin based on that address)? Alternatively, is there an easy way to obtain the billing address of the debit or credit card used by the customer?
    2. In terms of the reverse charge, is the best way to tackle this by building a custom XSLT rule to exempt that client from VAT when they have provided a valid tax number? (i.e. Tax method > Exemption > Exemption Rule - Custom).

    Your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi

    You can enter the tax exemption numbers for the client under People > Customers. Then if you use a custom tax rule, you can enable the Use tax exemption number to exempt a customer from taxes.

    1. During checkout, the customer billing address is available to you in the custom rule to query so you can create a rule to charge/exempt based on the information. In the next release, we'll include the IP address so you can query in a custom rule. In addition, that custom rule can use Geo IP location to detect the country based on the IP.

    2. Yes, if the customer has a tax exemption number, you can create a rule to exempt the taxes in the XSLT.

    I hope this helps. Thanks,
