VAT EXEMPT

Hi Alex,
The EU VAT Assistant doesn’t automatically alter invoices, but it provides functions that you can call to determine if an order was exempt from VAT under the reverse charge rules. You can then use such functions to customise your invoices, and show the “reverse charge” message.

Here’s a brief example of how you can call such functions.

1. Initialise the integration

// Use the Order class from the EU VAT Assistant, which provides functions to fetch VAT data
$euva_order = new \Aelia\WC\EU_VAT_Assistant\WCPDF\EU_Invoice_Order($order_id);

// Initialise the EU VAT Assistant helper, 
$eu_invoice_helper = \Aelia\WC\EU_VAT_Assistant\WCPDF\EU_Invoice_Helper($euva_order);

2. Fetch and print VAT information

// Fetch the invoice currency
$invoice_currency = $eu_invoice_helper->invoice_currency();
 
// Fetch the exchange rate used to convert the total from the order currency
// to the VAT currency
$vat_currency_exchange_rate = $eu_invoice_helper->vat_currency_exchange_rate;
 
// If the order is subject to the reverse charge rules, display a note
if($eu_invoice_helper->reverse_charge()) {
  echo 'VAT reverse charged';
}
 
// Fetch the VAT data from the EU VAT Assistant
$vat_data = $euva_order->get_vat_data();
 
// Print VAT details
// - $tax_info['label'] contains the label (name) of the tax rate
// - $tax_info['amounts']['total'] contains the total tax for a specific tax rate
foreach($vat_data['taxes'] as $tax_info) {
  echo "Tax rate: " . $tax_info['label'];
  echo "Tax total: " . wc_price($tax_info['amounts']['total']); 
}

Should you have any questions on how to use the functions, please feel free to ask. Thanks.
