What it does
Selling to customers across the EU means charging the VAT rate of each buyer's country, exempting verified businesses and keeping records that match the One-Stop-Shop rules. Doing that by hand in WooCommerce gets tedious quickly. This plugin geolocates shoppers, applies the right rate to consumer orders and lets business customers enter an EU VAT number that is checked against European Commission records, so qualifying B2B orders can be exempted.
It fits stores selling digital or physical products into Europe that want their tax setup handled inside WooCommerce. You can bulk import VAT rates for all EU countries, set exemptions per country, track the 10,000 euro yearly B2C threshold and export CSV reports by month, quarter or year. Stores that prefer to avoid EU tax obligations can block EU orders entirely and show a custom notice at checkout.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores selling physical goods to EU customers
- Shops selling digital products across European countries
- B2B stores that need VAT exemption for verified businesses

Questions about YITH EU VAT
Does this plugin work without WooCommerce?
No. YITH EU VAT is built for WooCommerce and requires it. It adds VAT calculation, VAT number validation and tax reporting to the WooCommerce checkout and store settings.
How are business customers exempted from VAT?
At checkout, business customers enter their EU VAT number in a dedicated field. The number is validated in real time against European Commission records, and verified businesses can then receive VAT exemption on their order. You decide whether the field is optional or required.
Can it help with OSS reporting?
Yes. The plugin supports the One-Stop-Shop and Import One-Stop-Shop procedures, tracks the 10,000 euro yearly B2C threshold and produces CSV tax reports you can export monthly, quarterly or annually.
What happens if a customer's IP and billing address point to different countries?
The plugin prompts the customer to confirm their country when their IP location and billing address do not match. This helps make sure the VAT rate applied to the order reflects where the customer actually is.
