Customer Tax Country

Customer Tax Country controls which country determines VAT in the cart and at checkout — per customer, per customer group, or globally per sales channel. Intra-EU B2B deliveries with a valid VAT ID are automatically charged at 0% VAT.

What the plugin does

  • Selectable tax base: Shopware default, billing country, or shipping country
  • Three levels: on the individual customer, on the customer group, or globally in the plugin configuration
  • Billing country mode: both the tax status and the applied tax rate follow the billing address chosen at checkout
  • Intra-EU B2B: with a valid VAT ID and delivery to another EU country, no VAT is charged
  • VAT ID validation: online check against the EU VIES service, with configurable behaviour if VIES is unreachable

Tax base priority

The plugin checks top to bottom and uses the first value that is set:

  1. Setting on the customer
  2. Setting on the customer group
  3. Global plugin setting (per sales channel)
  4. Shopware default (shipping country)

If a level is set to "Not set" or "Shopware default", the next level is checked.
