Multiple Currencies and Local TaxesYou’ll likely need to account for local taxes or VAT in Europe. Understanding exactly what taxes you need to collect can be difficult enough, but you also need to ensure that your system can process them correctly. For example, my company has a downloadable product, a mini CMS called Perch. Our company is registered in the UK, so we need to collect VAT from UK buyers. We also need to collect VAT from EU (European Union) buyers, unless they have a valid VAT number. If the buyer is outside the EU, then we don’t need to charge VAT. So, our system has to allow for validation of VAT numbers as well as for the correct calculation of price with and without VAT. If you find yourself in a similar situation, then the European VAT Number Validation API (written by Aral Balkan) will be helpful.
