B2B VAT: Tax-free when entering the UID number with Validation

Using the plugin

New functions are added in the Shopware Admin area:

• Country configuration: Settings -> Shop -> Countries -> "activate extended tax-free settings".
• Settings -> Shop -> Customer groups -> "edit" the desired customer group -> "activate extended tax-free settings".
  

Additionally, 2 new conditions for the Rule Builder are added

• Delivery address contains Ust-Id (to be used preferably)
• Billing address contains VAT ID
  

 

First, please create a rule in the Rule Builder

In the Shopware Admin area: Settings -> Shop-> Rule Builder please create a suitable rule (name + priority + condition) e.g.

• Delivery address contains Ust-ID (preferred) | (This condition is provided by our plugin: Delivery address contains VAT-ID)

• Billing address contains VAT ID | (This condition is provided by our plugin: Billing address contains VAT-ID)

Afterwards the rule can be assigned to the countries and/or customer groups

In the administration, an extended tax display can be selected for the customer groups.
        This is based on rules. If several rules are specified, a link is made with "OR".
In the administration, an extended tax-free configuration can be selected for the countries.
        This is based on rules. If more than one rule is specified, a link is created with "OR".
