Integration with Taxamo Assure for EU VAT

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm in the UK and seeking a solution to despatch to Republic of Ireland.  I have many Irish customers, but had to temporarily suspend despatches to Ireland due to high levels of returns from Ireland's AN Post. 

I've now established that the problem is that VAT needs to be prepaid to the EU via IOSS, the alternative is for customers to pay duty prior to delivery - which most won't, generating a costly return.  

One possible solution recommended by Royal Mail is Taxamo Assure by Vertex which can facilitate paying EU VAT for a set fee of £2 a package. According to their website:  Currently Assure is available via a plug-in with Magento, and with direct API integration to your checkout. 

Does anyone know if Taxamo Assure can be integrated with Romancart?  Alternatively has anyone found a solution to despatching products to Ireland, and paying the VAT required via IOSS?
