1.7.2.4 ID-NUMBER vs. VAT-number

[artmusicstudio]

hello,

i just canot point out:

 

in the custumer info there is an IDENTIFICATION NUMBER    -    what is it ? and what is it for? who declares it?

 

in the billing (check out) - when you edit - you can see a VAT-NUMBER, which is different....

 

and

 

in a B2B - mode: how can i switch off the "OPTIONAL " for the VAT-Number ?

 

thanx a lot.

Hi

ID number (a.k.a. Identification number) stands for personal citizenship or nationality no. Provides by each governments to each people. 

VAT (Value added tax) is the TAX number. It also provides by governments (or trade offices, ministries e.t.c) but it is not for individual customer. 

 

So

if the customer is corporate, it should fill in the VAT field with your TAX no of your company.

if the customer is a individual he/she should use your ID no. 

Merchants almost in all countries use these fields while billing. But it's depending on your country regulations. So you may not have to use it,

hello mahmut,

thanx a lot for the explanation.

 

but how can it happen, that i have both numbers in 1 profile?

 

i created this test user, made some inputs, and now have in the same user

DE 00001111222 in the ID

and

DE 11111 in VAT (which also appears in the check out and in the bill ( i created one for test purpose)

 

i will have make a new test user to understand, how the input was and where those different inputs where made (by me).

 

thanx

stan

 

edit: in b2b vat-number shoud be enter directly in the new profile....?
