European VAT Compliance Assistant for WooCommerce

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 75% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plugin has been around for a while and transitioned with woo for compliance to EU V.A.T law. Since 21, eShops may charge VAT on a per country basis, based on delivery adress. And how the h*** would you administer this, if it wasn’t for David’s master code. This plugin adds VAT tables to your site incl all vat rates for EU Countries. Then you can add any and all other rates, you wish, such as Zero, reduced, artist,services and you can even add other countries. So this can easily work for rules in Aussieland, that I am not even aware of. But hold on….. this plugin can if you set it, display next to the price that this is ex vat / incl vat / Incl VAT Denmark or Luxembourg and then show nothing if no VAT is added for trade beyond EU. A country like Denmark has one of the highest rates at 25%. That addition is a competitive disadvantage for sales to fx Tunisia. That’s why this function is vital. For anonymous users it will geolocate, once adding shipping address it will recalculate seamlessly. Under Danish B2C law you must at all times present pricing incl. of VAT. Now if a user lies about their location behind a VPN, what can anyone do? Let the dice roll and take it to court. Cudos to David for making life so easy for so many in the middle of anarchy. Thx a ton and merry X-mas.

   Such plug-in does exactly what’s expected and is really useful to be compliant with such new VAT regulation. David is a great professional, coder and support engineer. When I was in trouble (in migrating from Aelia version to Simba version of such VAT EU plug-in), he was really available and willing-full to help to solve, also in late evening. Thanks ! Great product ! Great support ! Great people ! This topic was modified 4 years, 6 months ago by bterburg.

   This plugin is almost a requirement when selling goods, services across the EU. Works easy and out of the box with WooCommerce and my Theme (Dante).
