Prices & Payments Tax Beta Tax Issue

Hey all,

We have just downloaded the Prices & Payments V2 & Invoicing addons to take advantage of the tax settings, however for the life in me i am unable to get the tax to actually show on the checkout.

I have set up my tax rate for the UK as 20% ( for the moment everywhere else can be 0 until i get the UK working )

The products are set up as digital so it uses the customers location to choose the VAT rate.

But it still does not add any VAT on the checkout, it just shows as 0, i even set the fallback tax rate to 20% but still has no affect.

One other thing i noticed, the VAT Number under ‘EU VAT Settings’ refuses to validate, i know its a valid VAT number as we use it regularly, we just get an error saying: Fail to validate the VAT number: EU Commission VAT server (VIES) check fails. This also happens on the checkout page if i add the VAT number as if a customer would. Same error

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Ben
