lotuscrafts3 review for Sufio: Professional Invoices

Aug. 7, 2019

The app is wrongly claiming and advertising to cover EU VAT validation and handling of B2B EU intra community supply purchases. It simply cant do it. And I was very surprised that the app developers dont seem to (want to) understand the basic legal requirement regarding EU VAT regulations. Since the tool does not change any prices after VAT validation in the frontend (!) the sufio support recommended us the exclude taxes from prices. This is an even worse solution, it is simply illegal in the EU to add VAT at the checkout, prices must be shown at any time inkl. VAT. I know its shopifys fault that there is no VAT ID check possible during checkout but if your tool cant fix this stop claiming otherwise. Furthermore one has to be clear that VAT IDs collected by the plugin are only added as a "tag" and thus are not shared through the shopify API and thus cannot be exported to any ERP.
