<p>Disability VAT Exemption for WooCommerce allows eligible customers to claim VAT exemption directly during checkout – while automatically applying your zero-rate tax and securely storing exemption details with the order.</p>
<p>No manual adjustments.<br />
No post-order refunds.<br />
No tax overrides.</p>
<p>Just a clean, reliable exemption workflow built specifically for WooCommerce.</p>
