I use: D6, Ubercart 2, VAT-ID, Vat-Tax, Prices are stored without Tax. I activated the modules and found this is not correct:
If a customer wants to go to the checkout he must enter a VAT-ID, which is wrong.
Instead: the customer should have the OPTION to enter the VAT-ID. On case he enters a VAT-ID, resides within the EU, but not within the Shop-Owner's country then the Value added Tax must be removed from the bill / invoice. In case the customer resides outside the EU the "Enter VAT-ID" field can disappear generally (and ofcourse the VAT must also be removed from the bell).
Is this wrong behaviour a configuration issue or an matter of code-implementation??
Thanks for any hints or help.
Regards
Ced
PS: Any documentation on how to install this module would be very much appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem. VAT-ID can't be a must and I cant configure this thing correctly.
There is no manual to be found anywhere so I don't know if my configuration is wrong or the module is just not working as it supposed to be.
Any help is appreciated.

Exactly the same issue here. The problem is not implementation, but I don't know how to get started with it. Somehow I don't see how this EU-VAT feature fits into the ubercart+tax, as the valid VAT number should "remove" the tax, and how do you remove a tax after it was added?
