Starting from 1st of January 2015, EU tax regulation has changed regarding taxation. In some cases,instead of the original tax calculation,where the seller took the tax rate from his own country, the tax now needs to be based on the country ofthe seller. Most of these cases deal with the sales of digital goods or digital services.Within Magento, this simply means that the tax is calculated using tax rates that differ per EUcountry. This is not a repository that tries to answer the question whether you need this or not. Instead, if you or yourbookkeeper has decided that such tax calculation is indeed the case, this repository gives you the tax rates.

This repository contains a filetax_rates_eu.csv which can be imported into the Magento System Configurationto setup tax rates automatically.

Login to your Magento backend and navigate toSales > Tax > Import / Export Tax Rates.UseExport Tax Rates to backup your previous rates. UseImport Tax Rates to upload the filetax_rates_eu.csv from this repository.

Note that the first row of the CSV is in English, and you'll need the English locale to be loaded for this CSVto be imported correctly. To allow for this: Change the locale in the bottom of your Magento Admin Panelto "English (United States)".

Login to your Magento backend and navigate toSystem > Import/Export Tax Rates.UseExport Tax Rates to backup your previous rates. Click onBrowse ... and select the downloaded filetax_rates_eu.csv from this repository and click onImnport Tax Rates.

Periodically, tax rates change. When dealing with a busy Magento shop, you will want to change the tax rates as soon as the time is there, to prevent sales afterthat date with the wrong tax rates. This is where our paid extension Yireo TaxRatesManager extension comes into the picture. It guarantees that a specific taxrates is properly changed at the right date.

This commercial Yireo extension actually makes use of the information in this repository. Thefeeds.json file is used to get a listing of possible feeds, whilethe naming convention of the other CSV files makes sure that on a specific date the right files switch. The extension relies on cron to be running. It also shipswith an automatic fixing ability via cron and via the backend: The backend option allows you to preview what kind of changes would be made at a specific date.
