VAT is taken off

[Ruud]

check_vat.php is calling a webservice to check if the taxnumber is valid.
( http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl )
All accountant/invoicing software and webshops in the European community are using this same service to check validity of taxnumbers.

My guess is that "Server_busy" means that this remote server is too busy

Hi Ruud,

It WORKS!!!!!!! THANKS!
And i deleted the check on the VAT number, this giving the errors.

Thanks, i will test it, but do you know this?

I get often this error:

SERVER_BUSY in line (49) of (/modules/bakery/check_vat.php)

But what is this?

[Ruud]

Untested, but it might work.... 

in view_summary.php find:

Code (untested) Select Expand

if ($cust_tax_no == '') {
$pay_sales_tax = true;
}

and replace these lines by:

Code (untested) Select Expand

$pay_sales_tax = true;

That might do the trick.

But the client wants an optional entry field for the VAT number in the form, so that when this field is filled in, the VAT number will be placed on the invoice. But the cost must be the same and not minus the VAT costs.

[Ruud]

Just switch off the question for the VAT number?

Hello,

If you fill in the order form and use a VAT number, it is automatically in the (sub) total calculating the tax taken off, i don't want this to happen? Can someone explain how to adjust this?

Thanks!
