 * Please can you explain specifically which features you are referring to? Some
   of them don’t make any sense in a REST API context.

 * hi,
    we prepare orders for customers through REST API. but we want woocommerce
   to apply the EU Tax rules: – in case of a customer from another EU country: no
   VAT needed if verified VAT/location of customer is “confirmed”. – in case of 
   a customer of my country: VAT needed Looking forward for your answer & many thanks
   in advance

 * This plugin does not calculate taxes (whether over REST, or at the checkout).
   That is done by WooCommerce core, according to the tax tables you set up – [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-taxes-in-woocommerce/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-taxes-in-woocommerce/).
   The only input that the plugin has is to mark a customer as VAT-exempt at the
   checkout if a valid number is supplied (and if the settings are set accordingly).
   The plugin itself does not have a REST interface. You would need to yourself 
   decide if you want to mark the customer as exempt.

 * – I presume the check {VAT-exempt or not} is done at the moment (and stored with)
   the order is submitted, based on customer info.
    – Does the plugin check an order
   placed through the REST API and mark it as VAT-exempt or not?

 * Hi, unfortunately, internally, things don’t really work like that. The REST API
   is a bare-bones interface to WC’s internals. It’s a quite different environment,
   from the point of view of how orders go through, to the front-end- checkout. 
   Things only exist there if they’ve been explicitly coded. In the context of EU
   VAT, that presents a number of technical complications. As things are, our plugin
   does not have any specific code for doing anything with REST orders.
