# SplitVAT documentation | WebKoding How to install, licence and update SplitVAT. One order, two VAT rates, two invoices. Source: https://webkodingtheme.com/docs/splitvat/ --- # SplitVAT documentation One order, two VAT rates, two invoices. Back to SplitVAT Open the demo ## Before you start - •WordPress 6.0 or newer, WooCommerce 8.0 or newer, PHP 7.4 or newer - •WooCommerce tax classes already set up — SplitVAT splits by the rates you have defined, it does not invent them - •A country or a trade where mixed-rate orders genuinely need separate invoices ## What it does not do - —It does not set your tax rates. It splits by the WooCommerce tax classes you have already configured, and a wrong class produces a confidently wrong invoice. - —It does not split the payment. The money is taken once as one order; what is split is the documentation. - —It does not tell you whether your jurisdiction requires this. It produces the document; whether that satisfies your tax office is a question for someone who knows it. ## What is in the download A WordPress plugin ZIP that detects mixed-rate orders and produces a compliant PDF invoice per rate. It builds on WooCommerce’s own tax configuration rather than replacing it. GPL source, HPOS-compatible. ## Installing it Get WooCommerce tax classes right first. SplitVAT is only as correct as the rates it is told about, and a wrong class produces a confidently wrong invoice. Then Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, activate, and paste the licence key from your purchase email. ## Mapping rates Map every class you actually use, including the zero-rated one. An unmapped class is the usual cause of an order that fails to split when it should. Test with a real mixed basket before you rely on it — one item at each rate, through a real checkout. A synthetic test order rarely exercises shipping tax, which is where mixed-rate orders get interesting. Show one of the split invoices to your accountant. Compliance is a question about your jurisdiction, and the plugin can only produce the document; whether that document satisfies your tax office is a question for someone who knows it. ## Licence, updates and support - One licence covers 1 WordPress site. - 1 year of updates, from the date of purchase. - 1 year of email support. - Instant download + licence key by email - 30-day money-back guarantee Questions this page does not answer go to support@webkoding.com .

Because some countries tax a meal and a drink differently, or a book and a bookmark. Where that is the case, a single invoice covering both rates is not compliant — however correct the totals are. ### Do I have to create new tax classes? No. It works from the WooCommerce tax classes you already use; the mapping tells it which class is which rate. ### What does the customer receive? A compliant PDF invoice per rate, rather than one document. Which is what their own accountant needs in order to reclaim correctly. ### Does it change how the order is charged? No. The money is taken once, as one WooCommerce order. What is split is the documentation, not the payment. ### Is it HPOS-compatible? Yes.
