TWEAK: Update reduced rate for Finland in bundled fallback rates (used if online rates can’t be fetched)
1.36.5 – 2026-01-17
TWEAK: Add a filter woocommerce_vat_report_include_orders_without_vat allowing shop owners to display in the summary report countries which had purchases but which had no VAT (for which, of course, the total amounts will all be zero; and since by definition there can be no country that the non-tax is payable to, the country used is the customer’s taxable address).
1.36.4 – 2026-01-12
FIX: Order display summary failing to update on block checkout when changing VAT self-certify status
1.36.3 – 2026-01-07
TWEAK: Amend the filter introduced in 1.36.2 to be case-insensitive.
1.36.2 – 2026-01-01
TWEAK: Add a filter wc_vat_compliance_require_country_code, allowing store owners who wish to force customers to explicitly include a country code (rather than have it handled/added implicitly) to do so
1.36.1 – 2025-10-27
FIX: On the shortcode checkout, if a partial (only some classes) tax exemption is operative, then any fees added using the WC Fees API are checked for possible exemption

TWEAK: Replaced type-casting variants which are deprecated on PHP 8.5
TWEAK: Correct placement of plugin version in settings export file
TWEAK: Settings export file now contains WooCommerce tax tables
1.36.0 – 2025-09-27

TWEAK: Add parameters to the wp_ajax_wceuvat_vatnumber_response filter
1.35.8 – 2025-09-26
TWEAK: Remove a redundant code section when verifying a VAT number, and add annotations

TWEAK: Replace the deprecated wpo_wcpdf_shop_address_settings_text filter when wpo_wcpdf_get_shop_address is available
TWEAK: Add filter wc_vat_compliance_add_footer_with_all_zero_rated to allow suppression of invoice filter in the case of a valid VAT number and only zero-rated line items when the number is deemed not to be the reason for no VAT
1.35.6 – 2025-08-12
TWEAK: When processing a subscription renewal, or when pre-filling the block checkout field, if the VAT number was stored with a double-prefix, then fix it
1.35.5 – 2025-08-04
TWEAK: Update VAT rates for Romania
1.35.4 – 2025-08-01
TWEAK: When pre-filling the checkout page, if the VAT number was stored with a double-prefix, then fix it
TWEAK: Update VAT rate for Estonia
1.35.3 – 2025-07-09
TWEAK: Use WC_Order::save_meta_data() instead of WC_Order::save() in WC_EU_VAT_Compliance_Record_Order_Details to avoid unnecessary database updates
1.35.2 – 2025-06-25
FIX: Invalidate the cart total calcuation cache if the cart hash has changed, fixing the issue of “exemption based upon value” calculations on the shortcode-based ‘cart’ page being based upon the pre-updated cart during an update operation
TWEAK: Run readiness tests upon loading of the ‘Readiness Report’ tab instead of upon page loading, for quicker page loading and avoidance of unnecessary network calls.
TWEAK: In the order and settings exports, include information on whether the designated cart page uses the cart shortcode
1.35.1 – 2025-06-17
FIX: Fix incorrect reference to customer object during PayPal official extension off-site checkout
TWEAK: In the order and settings exports, include information on whether the designated checkout page uses the checkout shortcode
TWEAK: In the settings export, rename woocommerce_default_country to woocommerce_base_country and wc_eu_vat_compliance to wc_vat_compliance

TWEAK: Provide more information in some cases of WSDL layer setup failure
TWEAK: Replace use of xml_set_object() in nusoap code to resolve PHP 8.4 deprecations
TWEAK: Mark as supporting WooCommerce 4.8+ (nothing has been changed to stop supporting previous versions; but this is now the official support requirement)
1.34.3 – 2025-04-30
FIX: A further fix for the official WooCommerce PayPal extension; customer VAT exemptions were not applied on the non-standard AJAX call
1.34.2 – 2025-04-26
FIX: The official WooCommerce PayPal extension uses a non-standard AJAX call when calculating order totals, resulting in possible incorrect context-dependent identification of taxation country
1.34.1 – 2025-04-22
TWEAK: In the “VAT compliance information” meta-box, the status had regressed to being shown where the VAT number should have been displaying
1.34.0 – 2025-04-19
FEATURE: When performing VAT number validations upon subscription renewal, exempt from taxes (requires Subscriben 0.12.11 or later) if the user is still VAT exempt based upon a fresh look-up
TWEAK: When performing VAT number validations upon subscription renewal, prefer the most recent VAT number, trust the previous order’s look-up less, record unsuccessful results with more detail, and do not retain information from previous lookups
TWEAK: Prevent a PHP notice upon order placement if using the block checkout with no shipping required
TWEAK: Prevent a PHP deprecation notice on PHP 8.2+ when self-certifying
TWEAK: On the WooCommerce block checkout, do not save an empty VAT number in the customer object
TWEAK: Upon subscription renewal orders, VAT lookups for Norway and Switzerland should have their meta-data saved under the vat_lookup_response key
TWEAK: On the WooCommerce block checkout, do not prefix the country prefix to a VAT number that already has it
TWEAK: Pass indicated customer correctly to WC_Tax::get_tax_location() when getting a taxable address
FIX: Do not fetch taxation country from illegitimate/unavailable sources when processing a block checkout
1.33.2 – 2025-04-16
FIX: When processing a renewal order within a subscription, WC_Order::save_meta_data() was not being called, resulting in updated VAT number information potentially not making it to the database.
1.33.1 – 2025-04-07
FEATURE: Add an export link from the VAT information meta-box on dashboard order screens allowing easy export of all related information for an order (to aid auditing and debugging)
COMPATIBILITY: Now requires PHP 7.1+ (previously required 7.0+)
FIX: Block-based checkout displayed notice but did not prevent order placement when settings required that the customer IP address and taxation address agreed and they did not
TWEAK: When a notice was shown at the checkout indicating the need for customer IP address and taxation address to agree, and the taxation address was also outside of any configured VAT zone, display the correct region adjective instead of ??.
TWEAK: Add a Slovakian alternative reduced VAT rate
1.32.6 – 2025-02-04
FIX: The enhanced readiness test in 1.32.5 should have used loose, not strict, PHP comparison type to handle 0 and 0.0 identically.
1.32.5 – 2025-01-23
TWEAK: Enhance the “zero-rate” readiness test to ensure that the shop owner has not added non-zero rates to the zero-rate tax class
TWEAK: Update the Slovakian standard VAT rate
TWEAK: Update updater library to current release
1.32.4 – 2025-01-16
FIX: When converting data from HPOS format during report generation, sort the intermediate results to avoid needing further database calls, affecting performance
FIX: Ensure that order meta-data is saved if insertion of order time order number was required during report generation
TWEAK: Allow HMRC authentication for sites without any usable encryption key (stores the key in the database unencrypted, which still requires an attacker to gain access to your database via a security vulnerability to gain the HMRC token which then only allows him to look up UK VAT numbers). Such sites have neither SECURE_AUTH_KEY nor DB_PASSWORD set in wp-config.php.
TWEAK: Cause explanatory text to appear by the “Price display suffix” in the WooCommerce tax settings
1.32.3 – 2025-01-06
TWEAK: For HMRC VAT lookup authentication, fix encryption support for sites that had defined an unusable SECURE_AUTH_KEY
1.32.2 – 2025-01-03
FIX: In the block-based check-out, do not try to carry out region-related operations outside of a VAT region upon order placement
1.32.1 – 2024-12-23
FEATURE: Can look up UK VAT numbers using HMRC’s v2.0 lookup service (Premium version). Note: HMRC are turning off their v1.0 lookup service in January 2025. If you are using this then you must obtain a (free) HMRC account and go through an authorisation procedure, in the “VAT number lookups” section of the plugin settings; otherwise, your UK VAT number lookups will fail in January. N.B. You can alternatively use the integrated VATSense service.
FEATURE: Access keys from HMRC for UK VAT number lookups are now stored in your database encrypted, assuming that the SECURE_AUTH_KEY constant is set. (N.B. Changing the value of this constant will require re-authenticating).
TWEAK: Make explicit the requirement for PHP >= 7.0 (which was already required by the minimum supported WooCommerce version)
TWEAK: Mark as requiring WordPress 5.3+ (which was already required by the minimum supported WooCommerce version)
TWEAK: Do not escape tags in tax summary table
TWEAK: Update jQuery tablesorter to 2.32.0 (https://github.com/Mottie/tablesorter/)
1.31.5 – 2024-12-02
FIX: Fix a regression in the “tax class transition” option display in 1.31.4
1.31.4 – 2024-11-14

1.31.1 – 2024-10-04
FIX: Prevent unwanted VAT number/address substitutions happening on the block checkout page
FIX: Avoid using an unavailable variable in the block checkout
TWEAK: Prevent an unwanted JavaScript console message
TWEAK: Update Finnish standard VAT rate (now 25.5%)
TWEAK: Update URL for Russian Central Bank’s exchange rates
1.31.0 – 2024-08-27
FEATURE: Block checkout support. Since this is a new feature, tested internally and by a small number of existing customers, for the next couple of months or so you should consider this as being in “beta” status, and perform your own testing (since the plugin has a large variety of different configuration combinations possible)
FIX: Caching of cart totals should allow variation based upon the current shipping method(s)
TWEAK: Mark as supporting WooCommerce 4.5+ (nothing has been changed to remove WC 3.8-4.4 support, but this is our official support requirement; WooCommerce 4.5 was released in September 2020)
1.30.3 – 2024-08-06
FIX: The “VAT number valid” column in the detailed CSV download could display an incorrect value
TWEAK: When checking tax tables for recognised rates, ignore any entries that are for specific postcodes or cities (consistent with how entries for specific states are already ignored)
TWEAK: When parsing results from the VATSense rates API, exclude any zero rates, for consistency with existing rates format
1.30.2 – 2024-04-13
FIX: A regression in version 1.27.21 (released 7th Feb 2023) meant that if your shop sold orders in a different currency to your configured VAT reporting currency in the plugin settings, then conversions were carried out incorrectly in the summary report table in “WooCommerce -> VAT Compliance -> VAT Reports”. Consequently, the reports contained incorrect totals. As such, shops selling in multiple currencies may wish to re-run these reports after updating to this version, and compare them with the VAT payments they made to see if they need to adjust past reports.
TWEAK: Update updater library (Premium version) to latest version
1.30.0 – 2024-02-01
FEATURE: Added experimental support for Switzerland (which is not a part of the EU). VAT number lookup support is via vatsense.com. Users can choose their preferred combination of zones (EU/UK/Norway/Switzerland)
TWEAK: Add filter woocommerce_vat_compliance_log_woocommerce_customer_taxable_address_exceptions to stop logging exceptions raised by WooCommerce core in that method if desired
1.29.11 – 2023-01-04
TWEAK: Update VAT rates for Luxembourg and Estonia
1.29.10 – 2023-12-29
TWEAK: Add missing context check before calling wc_add_notice() when reporting on VAT number validity in the back-end with too-short numbers
TWEAK: Update updater library version
1.29.8 – 2023-12-13
TWEAK: Some minor refactoring within the VAT number and shortcode checkout classes to enable future improvements

TWEAK: Prevent a PHP notice being logged if the add_meta_boxes is called from the front-end (e.g. UpdraftCentral)
TWEAK: Update updater library to current series
1.29.7 – 2023-11-03
FIX: HMRC (UK) again moved the URL at which they provide their official exchange rate XML data
1.29.6 – 2023-10-05
FIX: Fix a regression in the 1.29.2 release which could improperly prevent the VAT number field being displayed on the checkout
1.29.3 – 2023-10-03
FIX: Fix a regression in reporting in yesterday’s 1.29.2 release which could result in incomplete data being used to build the report
TWEAK: Adjust how reporting queries are logged to make them easier to read
1.29.2 – 2023-10-02
REFACTOR: All JavaScript for the checkout is now abstracted into a static (and cacheable) file, instead of being generated inline. Developers who have written custom PHP code should test their code carefully, and adjust where needed.
TWEAK: Add a constant WC_VAT_REPORTING_LOG_QUERIES to aid with report generation debugging
TWEAK: Increase speed of report generation by not running a final query if the previous query result set was between empty and matching the full page size
TWEAK: The filter for the checkout message stating that the VAT number is not long enough has been changed to wc_vat_msg_not_long_enough (as the previous filter name was unintentionally duplicated)
TWEAK: Mark as requiring WP 5.0+; nothing explicit has been done to remove compatibility with earlier versions, but this is the updated support requirements)
TWEAK: Fix invalid nesting of HTML tags on the checkout
1.29.1 – 2023-09-30
FIX: Fix a regression in 1.29.0 that caused the self-certify radios to display incorrectly
1.29.0 – 2023-09-28
FEATURE: Provide an option to always use the customer IP address for complete determination of the taxation country – potentially suitable for shops that are subject to special provisions only requiring one evidence of location (and who do not with to use the billing country)
TWEAK: Remove unwarranted specificity from the default message when a cart is forbidden
TWEAK: Add $cart_exempt parameter to wc_vat_woocommerce_product_get_tax_class_zero_rate_class filter
TWEAK: Add filter wc_vat_exempt_shipping_rate_taxes to allow modification of empty final output of WC_EU_VAT_Compliance_VAT_Number::woocommerce_shipping_rate_taxes()
TWEAK: Declare class variables explicitly because of deprecation of dynamic properties on PHP 8.2
TWEAK: Declare class variables in nusoap library explicitly because of deprecation of dynamic properties on PHP 8.2
TWEAK: Do not allow a default country (from the customer object or store) to be used during checkout processing
TWEAK: Tweak settings tip for VAT Number message
TWEAK: Replaced strftime(), which is deprecated since PHP 8.1
TWEAK: Supply any checkout VAT number through the woocommerce_checkout_posted_data filter
1.28.2 – 2023-06-14
FIX: Correct an SQL query used as an update task on HPOS order meta items
TWEAK: Allow HPOS status to be checked during plugins_loaded
1.28.1 – 2023-06-05
FIX: When the shop was based in a VAT region for which the settings did not indicate that VAT accounting should take place (which is an erroneous setting; all countries require VAT accounting to take place in their own country), B2B VAT exemptions were not performed correctly for cross-border sales into a different VAT region.
1.28.0 – 2023-05-29
FEATURE: Supports WooCommerce high-performance order storage (https://woocommerce.com/document/high-performance-order-storage/). Since HPOS is a large and invasive change, we recommend you test your site on it carefully. Developers should note the changelog items below.
FEATURE: Support currency conversions in the PDF invoice templates of PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce – Premium Templates (WP Overnight) – https://wpovernight.com/downloads/woocommerce-pdf-invoices-packing-slips-premium-templates/
DEVELOPERS: (Potentially breaking change): The sixth parameter to the filter woocommerce_vat_compliance_get_report_sql has changed – it is now an array – and the seventh has been removed entirely. If you had written custom code that uses this filter, then you should review and test it to ensure that it still works.
DEVELOPERS: Because of adding compatibility for WooCommerce High Performance Order Storage, the SQL query received by each of the woocommerce_vat_compliance_get_refunds_sql and woocommerce_vat_compliance_get_report_sql filters is now different. If using these filters, you will need to re-work them for HPOS compatibility.
DEVELOPERS: The filter wc_eu_vat_compliance_report_meta_fields is deprecated, and has been replaced with the filter wc_eu_vat_compliance_report_extra_meta_fields. Please adapt your code to use the new filter; the old one will be removed in a future release. See: https://www.simbahosting.co.uk/s3/faqs/when-downloading-a-detailed-csv-how-can-i-add-an-extra-column/
1.27.27 – 2023-05-06
FEATURE: If a VAT Sense API key has been added (Premium version), then VAT Sense will be used as the preferred source for up-to-date VAT rate information
TWEAK: Update Luxembourg’s current VAT rate (should also be pulled from the Internet by existing installs before updating to this release)
TWEAK: Remove no-longer maintained Aelia data-source for VAT rates
TWEAK: Provide a filter woocommerce_vat_widget_without_vat_on_address_save_with_vat_number to allow site owners to turn off the default behaviour of showing prices without VAT when the customer saves a VAT number in their profile.
TWEAK: Adjust behaviour of setting the visitor’s preference to show prices without VAT upon saving an address with a VAT number to not do so if the customer was in the store base country and is not deducting VAT from such customers
1.27.26 – 2023-04-07
FIX: The “Order number” column in the detailed CSV download was empty (since 1.27.21); it now has this capitalisation instead of “Order Number”, so if any developers have written customer PHP code to target this column, they will need to adjust
FIX: If the site was running in a non-English language, then (since 1.27.21) in the detailed CSV spreadsheet (Premium feature) any columns which had translated headings would have empty values
TWEAK: Handle Cloudflare’s “T1” and “XX” pseudo-country codes (recognise as not referring to any actual country)
1.27.25 – 2023-04-03
TWEAK: Get the selected drop-down country over AJAX, in order to make the drop-down country selector compatible with per-country page-caching.
1.27.24 – 2023-03-29
FIX: When the store’s base country is in one of the UK/Isle of Man, France/Monaco pairs, then a transaction should be subject to base country rules if the taxation country is the other member of the pair
TWEAK: Prevent a potential PHP notice when running under cron
1.27.23 – 2023-03-21
FEATURE: When checkout orders are recorded with the final taxable address determined with the aid of self-certification, this information is now recorded explicitly and displayed in the dashboard order page metabox (previously it as implicit)
TWEAK: Use data from WC’s get_posted_data() method rather than $_POST directly in a couple of places
TWEAK: Add wc_vat_compliance_log_no_line_total filter to suppress potentially unwanted logging
TWEAK: Update Premium version’s updater library to latest version
TWEAK: Settings in the “Other WooCommerce tax options potentially relevant for VAT compliance” section are now read-only, to avoid user confusion about which component implements the settings
1.27.22 – 2023-02-25

FIX: Fix regression in 1.27.21 which resulted in zero-rating no longer being applied for partial exemptions and value-based exemptions
TWEAK: Update .pot file
TWEAK: Move registration of action that outputs VAT number field until init, to allow shop owners to access the associated filters in child theme code
TWEAK: Add page output time to debugging footer when activated
TWEAK: In one specific situation, the debugging footer could include incorrect information on how the visitor country was determined
TWEAK: Avoid unintended use of deprecated dynamic property in WC_VAT_Compliance_Preselect_Country class
1.27.21 – 2023-02-07
TWEAK: Add filter wc_vat_woocommerce_product_get_tax_class_zero_rate_class to allow a different tax class to the WooCommerce default one to be used as the designated zero-rate class.
TWEAK: Rename internal “Date” column in detailed CSV download to “Date (local)” to match the spreadsheet column heading; any developers who had written custom PHP code targetting this column will need to adjust their code.
TWEAK: Filters related to the detailed CSV download did not allow removal of columns from the base spreadsheet; now they do.
TWEAK: Filters related to the detailed CSV download now allow columns to be re-ordered.
TWEAK: wc_eu_vat_compliance_csv_data_entries filter now has an extra parameter available containing order details after currency conversion

FIX: Prevent a potential infinite recursion (since 1.27.15) on the cart page when ascertaining the taxation country
FIX: Fix a regression (since 1.27.17) which could prevent the customer-chosen conflict resolution choice from takin effect
TWEAK: Log a message if a cart item has no line_item_total key.
1.27.18 – 2023-01-11
FIX: Work around a problem in 1.27.17 when renewing subscription orders that were created when the plugin wasn’t active caused by a function needed by WooCommerce’s tax methods only being loaded on the front-end.
1.27.17 – 2023-01-09
TWEAK: When creating subscription renewal orders, set the current WooCommerce customer to the order customer, to work around the WooCommerce filter woocommerce_customer_taxable_address not passing any customer identifier

FEATURE: Add support for exchange rates from the Romanian National Bank
1.27.15 – 2022-11-26

1.27.14 – 2022-10-28

TWEAK: Update update checker library to latest version
TWEAK: Add filters woocommerce_vat_compliance_get_items_sql, woocommerce_vat_compliance_get_refunds_sql and woocommerce_vat_compliance_get_report_sql to allow modification of the SQL used to fetch relevant data for building reports
TWEAK: Add filter wp_ajax_wceuvat_vatnumber_response to the AJAX action response for users who want to adapt messages returned from the VAT-number checking service
TWEAK: If a subscription renewal order is created where the original order does not have previous information present for the taxable country, then an attempt to add this information will be made.
TWEAK: Move HTML entity outside of translation string and regenerate POT file to correct previous error
1.27.11 – 2022-09-24
FEATURE: When a new order is created in the WooCommerce admin dashboard screen, any VAT number entered will be validated; if valid, the customer will be set as tax-exempt (VAT number validation is a Premium feature).

TWEAK: Removed debugging log message included in 1.27.7
1.27.7 – 2022-08-27
TWEAK: Run the woocommerce_get_price_suffix filter when DOING_AJAX is true also (for plugins that fetch front-end content snippets over AJAX)
TWEAK: Lower priority of a couple of hooks which record audit data, so that they are more likely to run successfully if there is another plugin on the site which uses the same hooks and causes a fatal error before our code got to run
1.27.6 – 2022-07-04
TWEAK: Adjust default filename for saving short summary reports
TWEAK: Add new filters (wc_vat_compliance_currency_converted_order_data_use_order_saved_data, wc_vat_compliance_currency_converted_order_data_use_conversion_time, wc_vat_compliance_currency_converted_order_data_use_rate, wc_vat_compliance_currency_converted_order_data_use_provider) which allow developers to modify the date used for currency conversion lookups for reporting data.
1.27.5 – 2022-06-20
FIX: Fix incorrect JSON parsing of the new IP address lookups from https://ipapi.co introduced in 1.27.4
1.27.4 – 2022-06-18
FEATURE: Handle admin-area editing of taxes – save the new tax information if updates are applied in the admin area (and also save the original non-admin information for audit purposes)
FEATURE: If WooCommerce has saved an IP address for the order, but the plugin (for whatever reason – e.g. order created through custom means) has not recorded a GeoIP lookup for the IP address, then this will now be performed if viewing the order’s dashboard page. These lookups may be performed via the public API at https://ipapi.co – if this is undesirable for you, then add define(‘WC_VAT_COMPLIANCE_DO_REMOTE_IP_LOOKUPS’, false); to your wp-config.php file.
TWEAK: Adjust the “No further information recorded” message for greater precision.
TWEAK: Add the WC_Order to the parameters of the wc_eu_vat_compliance_meta_country_info filter

TWEAK: Added filter wc_vat_compliance_include_order_in_report upon user request to allow programmer-controlled removal of orders from VAT reports
1.27.0 – 2022-04-26
FEATURE: The capability to use the plugin’s GeoIP resolution on all relevant pages is now exposed as an option, defaulting to off for new installs (since WooCommerce now has its own GeoIP resolution), and on for upgrades (reflecting the previous default behaviour). As part of the related changes, the country-selection widget and/or dropdown can now be used without having to accept the plugin’s own GeoIP resolution.
TWEAK: The class WC_EU_VAT_Compliance_Preselect_Country has been renamed to WC_VAT_Compliance_Preselect_Country; if you had hand-written PHP code that interacted with it, you will want to review it
TWEAK: The constant WC_EU_VAT_LOAD_ALL_CLASSES has been renamed to WC_VAT_LOAD_ALL_CLASSES
TWEAK: Mark as requiring WP 4.7+; nothing explicit has been done to remove compatibility with earlier versions, but this is the updated support requirements)
