 * hi [@matteobaro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matteobaro/),
 * This code you have added is adding tax exempt to all login users and not admin
   on your woocommerce site.
 * So if you want a tax exempt for a Single user you might want to get the right
   code from woocommerce support for this.
