0% Vat To Eu Not Inside The Uk

[garyconstable80]

Hello how would I go about overriding the 

 

public function getTaxCalculator();

 

It's part of the TaxRulesTaxManagerCore class in prestashop?

 

My boss needs me to give 0% vat to EU customers outside the UK if they have valid VAT Number,

 

from what I have read I can use the https://github.com/PrestaShop/vatnumber module .

 

The thing is my zones are setup with each country being a zone - and I do not want to change them all back to being in the EU - this would effect how we have our carrier system setup.

 

Actually Im thinking I need to alter, ProductCore.php approx line 2598

 

    if ($usetax != false

&& !empty($address_infos['vat_number'])

&& $address_infos['id_country'] != Configuration::get('VATNUMBER_COUNTRY')

&& Configuration::get('VATNUMBER_MANAGEMENT'))

$usetax = false;

 

to be something like:

if ( customer has VAT and in EU and not in UK ) $usetax = false;

Maybe thats the better way? 

 

 

What do people think?

 

 

Thanks.
