Hi guys,
I have disabled all VAT checks in the checkout form as this does not work for Australia.
Unfortunately the downside is that the there is now no company and GST field on the check-out page.I have added the code snipped to functions.php from a previous post, however nothing happens.

Can you please advise on how I can add a (optional) company and (optional) ABN field to the check-out page?
Thanks!

What if your buyer is not a company but a sole trader or partnership?These are the settings I use in Australia:
1. Invoicing > Settings > General > Label texts > VAT Name > GST
2. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > Tax Settings > Enable Taxes > YES
3. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > Tax Rates > set to Australia – 10% – GST (Tax name)
4. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > EU VAT Settings > Enable VAT Rules > YES
5. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > EU VAT Settings > Prevent EU B2C Sales > YES
6. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > EU VAT Settings > Disable VAT Fields > YES
7. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > EU VAT Settings > VIES Validation > YES to all options
8. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > Misc > Fields Settings > Make fields optional as requiredThanks
October 3, 2018 at 4:00 am #2137Hi Guust,
I just went through your settings one by one and had it already set up like you suggested.
However this does not solve my problem for a customer to be able to OPTIONALLY enter a company and ABN.
Most of our sales will be B2B and they will be Pty Ltd’s so this is important.
It is a legal tax requirement for the invoice to be a valid tax invoice for a company to have the company name and ABN on it (for invoices over $82.50).
https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/GST/Issuing-tax-invoices/How else would I collect this info if not on the check out page??
Obviously understand that if its a sole trader its not needed therefore my request for the fields to be optional.
Can you please let me know how I can add these fields to the Check-out page?
Thanks

8. Invoicing > Settings > Taxes > Misc > Fields Settings > Make fields optional as required ALREADY SETOctober 3, 2018 at 12:53 pm #2139A tax invoice only needs to have your ABN on it, not the buyer’s ABN, and not their name.
But you can change the labels of any of the other fields if you like. Eg, ask ABN instead of phone number etc.I’ll get a developer to have a look too at your question how to add extra fields.
Thanks

I have modified the code in the functions.php file. Can you please review it from your side and let me know if it is working fine or not?

PatrikOctober 14, 2018 at 10:54 pm #2202Hi Patrik,
Apologies for the delay in getting back!
Thanks so much for adding the fields, I have tested it and it works!!We have had our first real customer transaction however despite me not changing any settings it did not add the GST on: PUPSYINV-06108
The country was selected as Australia (where the 10% GST tax rate is set in the settings)When I created another test invoice it worked fine.
Any ideas on what could have caused the tax not being added on?
Thanks,
RafaelaOctober 15, 2018 at 12:03 pm #2217Hi Rafaela,
I have disabled Apply VAT to consumer sales from IP addresses within the EU, even if the billing address is outside the EU setting in Invoicing->Settings->Taxes->EU VAT Settings

PatrikOctober 22, 2018 at 12:34 am #2252Hi Patrick,
