Hello Pierre, thank you for your really fast answer to this subject. I know that the mentioned points have to be proved. This we would do after the customer ordered.
Concerning your point I want to ask more: /In Accounting (menu item Tax Authority) you can associate the foreign customer to the tax authority of that country, and with that association you can set the 'Exempt' flag for that customer if you have a positive verification. See / This way is means, that each customer I have to associate manually to the tax authority. What I think is easier, that the customer get's automated associated to the corresponding tax authority by the following reason: 1. He can directly purchase without Vat. That is really important for external payment services like paypal. Paypal uses the order amount directly after the customer has placed the order. When this is including VAT, the customer has to pay more. 2. we check the VAT after the customer placed the order. If it is not correct, we want to remove the association from the Tax authority and add the Vat to him. This way is more effective I think because most of the customer's conditions concerning Vat-Free buying are correct, so only a small percentage has wrong parameter, so we have to reassociate him. what do you think? Btw. you said, that I have to add a tax authority for the country without Vat. Does that mean, that I have to add all european countries to the tax authority (for each create one authority)? And which fields do I us for the VAT Identification Number? Are these the fields: "Require Tax Id For Exemption" --> change to "Y" and "Tax Id Format Pattern" --> add the regulare expression pattern to get a match for the VAT ID format? I know this subject is not the easiest, but cause by this I want to reask to be 100% sure :) thank you btw. the links I will read soon -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/German-stor-with-vat-selling-to-europe-and-other-countries-without-Vat-tp4642750p4642753.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
