This plugin automatically handles Value-Added Tax (VAT) compliance for membership sites selling to customers in the European Union. It is designed for site owners who need to apply correct EU tax rates and offer VAT exemptions to business customers with valid registration numbers.

Automatic VAT Calculation: Applies the correct EU VAT rate based on the customer's selected country of residence. Rates are kept current using official European Commission data.

VAT Number Validation: Customers can enter their EU VAT number at checkout to claim an exemption. The number is validated in real-time using the European Commission's official SOAP service.

GeoIP Detection: Optionally integrates with a GeoIP service to automatically pre-select the customer's country, simplifying the checkout process.

Customizable Tax Logic: Provides several filters for developers to customize behavior, such as adjusting tax rates, rounding rules, or modifying the list of EU countries.

Seller Country Configuration: Requires the site owner to specify their business's country in the plugin settings, which is used as the basis for applying intra-community VAT rules.
