What it does
Selling memberships to people in different countries means charging different tax rates, and doing that by hand gets messy fast. This add-on works inside the Paid Member Subscriptions plugin and handles the calculation during checkout. When someone buys a membership plan, the plugin looks at their country or region and applies the matching tax or VAT rate, so you are not working out amounts for each subscriber yourself.
You stay in control of the rules. You can set your own tax percentages for different locations and change them when the rules you follow change. You can also choose which membership plans or member groups are taxed at all. For sites with European members, there is built-in EU VAT rate support plus real-time VAT number validation, which grants a tax exemption to users who enter a valid EU VAT number.
Best for
- Membership sites with subscribers in many countries
- Businesses selling memberships to EU customers
- Site owners already running Paid Member Subscriptions
