This is the best EU VAT plugin I've found so far. Integrates nicely with WooCommerce checkout fields. Has useful user feedback, sensible and easy to understand configuration options. The only downside is that the free version does not include the option to not charge VAT for same country businesses, which is the biggest plus to using such a plugin to begin with. For me, this additional feature was worth the Pro version, but it leaves the free version only someofwhat viable. It would be great if the plugin could also extract the country prefix from the selected country, and for VAT numbers that don't include a country prefix, try to validate it with the extracted prefix for those users that don't understand to input their country prefix.
