Issue with European VAT number module

[imagesgroup]

I'm running Prestashop 1.4.7.0 with the official prestashop_new theme. Early on I had to apply a fix here (http://www.prestasho...n-cart-summary/) to get the theme to actually show the vat in the checkout - annoyingly this important info was commented out!

 

The website is UK based and tax is setup at 20%. All the standard Prestashop Tax Rules seem to work fine when testing the checkout.

 

The issue we have is with the following module: European VAT number v1.1 by PrestaShop

 

Once a customer enters a VAT number the VAT is removed from the breakdown at checkout and is not charged - even if it is a UK company.

 

Apart from disabling this module how do I get the cart to display and store the VAT breakdown for any orders that come from VAT registered companies?

Can anyone help out? I've been stuck on this issue for ages now.

I have exactly the same problem, I hope Simone can help?

 

Do the module use the tax rules given under "payment" settings?

Are you running the same version of Prestashop as I am? Or is this still a problem in 1.5?

 

I must say that the lack of response from the Prestashop community has put me off ever using the product again.

Did you resolve this?

I am using the Cloud version 1.6.1.

 

I have a UK website. Selling in the UK no problem. Just works

1. I need to activate so that Customer page (when setting up) can state their VAT number 

2. I need to tell the tax rules that if EU country and I have a VAT number then set rule to "Outside Scope of VAT" = 0%

3. I need to tell the tax rules that if EU country and I do not have a VAT number then set rule to "UK standard" = 20%

4. I need to tell the tax rules that if non-EU country then set rule to "Outside Scope of VAT" = 0% 

 

I see I have zones including Europe and Europe (Non EU) but the tax rules only show the countries and not the zones. That is a pain. Other threads say it can be done but not how. Some refer to settings on what must be older versions as I cannot find them on the Cloud 1.6.1 version.

 

I am working on the assumption that the thresholds will not be reached in this year at least and therefore VAT registration in the EU state will not be required.
