Hi,
You can already do that. It’s up to you to update your tax tables to reflect your obligations when you reach any threshold that applies to you, of course.
David
Sorry – probably my last reply is a bit unclear.
WooCommerce applies taxes according to your tax tables. This plugin doesn’t actually alter your tax tables (though it does have a convenience function to insert the digital goods rates). The plugin does have a number of other features that may still be very relevant to your auditing or reporting needs, whatever taxes you need to apply.

Not sure if I understand you correctly.
I’m running a small shop, sales below 10.000. So from Jan 2019 onward, instead of calculating VAT based on the seller’s country I have to calculate VAT based on the supplier country. In my case, NL VAT for all sales to customers in the EU.
Does that mean switching the plugin off?
Ok, now I see your second post. Do you suggest to change the tax table, e.g. make it the same tax for all EU countries, and keep the plugin switched on?

No, it means updating your WooCommerce tax tables to reflect the tax regime you are under. Turning the plugin off won’t do anything about that. The best thing to do as a shop owner would be to go through the WooCommerce tax guide to make sure you understand how taxes work in WooCommerce – https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-taxes-in-woocommerce/ – this plugin provides help in setting various thigns up, but it’s not a substitute for understanding the underlying fundamentals of WC.

Ok clear, so I will update the tax table.
There might be confusion in the reporting though.
The EU VAT by country report would report on the VAT that has been collected for sellers in a certain country. When below 10.000 EUR of sales, this VAT needs to be paid in the suppliers country, not the sellers country. The VAT MOSS report is no longer needed, as small shops are exempted from using the MOSS system, they should report VAT directly to their om tax authority.
The VAT MOSS report is no longer needed
What VAT MOSS report? There’s a VAT report, but, it nowhere mentions MOSS… whether you use the report to fulfil MOSS requirements if you’re subject to MOSS, or whether you use it for something else if you’re not, depends upon what VAT regime you’re under.
