Hello - is there a way to remove VAT at checkout on eligible B2B intra-community deliveries within the EU and Northern Ireland?
Yes, it is possible to remove VAT at checkout for eligible B2B intra-community deliveries within the EU and Northern Ireland. If you are using the Shopify platform, you can use the EU VAT Number app to automatically remove VAT at checkout for eligible orders.
To use this app, you will need to first verify that the customer’s VAT number is valid. This can be done by using the VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) provided by the European Commission. Once the VAT number has been verified, the app will automatically remove VAT at checkout for orders that meet the criteria for B2B intra-community deliveries within the EU and Northern Ireland.
It is important to note that the EU VAT Number app is only available for merchants who are registered for VAT in the EU. If you are not registered for VAT in the EU, you will not be able to use this app to remove VAT at checkout.
Additionally, you should be aware that there are specific rules and regulations that apply to B2B intra-community deliveries within the EU and Northern Ireland. It is important to familiarize yourself with these rules and ensure that you are compliant with all applicable regulations.
Thank you. Do you know the name of the app?
