 * Hello, I have problems showing the VAT correct.
    I want to calculate the tax 
   according to the home of the customer, so I set that up. That results in all 
   products showing the price without VAT, and only if a customer starts a checkout
   where he enters his country, the prices show correctly with VAT.
 * I would like to have the prices shown with the VAT valid on the shop origin, 
   which is in my case Germany with 19%. If the customers enters his country, lets
   say Norway, the price should change with his VAT.
 * Is that possible somehow?
    What happens when I set the tax-settings so, that 
   it shows the VAT from the shop country, does it change VAT when a customer enters
   his country?

 * In the tax rates table, the last catch-all line would be 4 * (wild cards) with
   19% tax.
 * I suspect WC still won’t calculate tax until it know the customer’s address. 
   Did you try setting the customer’s address to geolocate?

 * I have a tax rate table, you mean that table where you can set tax per country?
   
   So I should add a line with “****” as country and set that to 19% Tax?
 * I activated Geolocation now, thanx for that tip, did not see that option before.

 * Not quite, country code = *, state code = *, postcode = *, city = * and tax =
   19%. This will catch everyone. This is the lowest line in the table.
