Setting Up EU VAT Rates for Digital Products

EU VAT regulations for digital goods changed on January 1, 2015, affecting only B2C transactions. The VAT should be calculated on the digital goods based on the customer’s location, and you have to gather evidence of this through IP address and/or billing address.

In addition, you need to set the VAT rates in your WooCommerce store to charge the right amount. This guide shows you how to set specific rates for digital goods.

Establish Your Tax Classes

If you are selling only digital goods, VAT rates in WooCommerce can be added under standard rates.

If you are selling/distributing both digital and regular products, you can create and use a new tax category, for example,  http://alltutoring.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users/4 Digital Goods, and update them.
