What it does
Selling memberships to customers in the European Union means charging VAT at the rate of each buyer's country, and digital services have their own rules. Looking up rates by hand and applying them to every signup is slow and easy to get wrong. This add-on takes that job over inside your existing Paid Memberships Pro setup, so your membership levels and subscription billing keep working the way they already do while VAT is added on top.
The plugin uses the member's billing address and IP geolocation to decide which country's VAT applies. It covers country-specific rules and reverse charge cases, and it verifies VAT numbers on the server before granting an exemption at checkout. You can set rates, exemptions and handling rules by membership level or member location. Invoices show the exact tax amount, and summaries of VAT collected help with accounting and tax filing.
Best for
- Paid Memberships Pro sites selling to EU customers

Questions about PMPro - VAT Tax
Does this work on its own or do I need Paid Memberships Pro?
It is an add-on for Paid Memberships Pro. It works inside your existing membership setup, adding VAT calculation to the checkout and billing process that Paid Memberships Pro already runs.
How does it know which country a member is in?
It looks at the member's billing address and also uses IP geolocation. Together these help it apply the VAT rate for the correct EU country and reduce calculation errors.
Can business customers enter a VAT number to skip VAT?
Yes. The plugin supports reverse charge scenarios. A member's VAT number is verified on the server before the VAT exemption is applied at checkout, so exemptions are only granted after that check.

Yes. You can configure VAT rates, exemptions and handling rules based on membership level or member location, giving you control over how tax applies across your plans.
