Support the EU VAT Import One Stop Shop

From the 1st July 2021 traders outside the EU can register for VAT in one EU country and then collect the VAT duty on consignment of less than €150.

Logic

If the store is outside the EU and has a tax registration in an EU country:

  • When the total value of the physical goods in a consignment is less than €150 add VAT at the rate for the destination tax zone.
  • When the total value of the physical goods in a consignment is more than €150 do not add VAT.

When the value of the consignment is over €150 the customer will need to pay import duties on delivery; as they would on all shipments if the trader has not opted into the scheme.

Update: #7
The exact regulations need to be updated, as the limit of € 150,- seems to be country-specific maybe or is outdated?

(crazy...)

In Germany at least for example there's no product price limit, but a limit of goods worth >= €10000 shipped into foreign countries! That means the store couldn't determine this on its own, it would need a different tax type (EU OSS based on EU VAT) or a setting in the existing EU VAT type!

    @dwkitchen could you elaborate on that? I'm curious why there are two different logics published? What am I missing?

    Also, the 150€ thereshold implemented as in the patch cannot work... as there are EU countries that aren't in the Euros zone...
    I'd need to refresh my memory on this...
    @anybody: FYI David Kitchen (dwkitchen) no longer works with us, I doubt you'll get a feedback from him.
