<h2>Why you need Ultimate Tax Exemption</h2>
<p>By default, the site admin is not able to allow specific users or user roles to be exempted from tax and it’s not possible for customers to submit their tax exemption information for their tax exempt benefit while purchasing. That’s the reason we created this extension for their customers’ benefit by increasing customer satisfaction and site revenue.</p>
<h2>How it works</h2>
<p>By enabling the Allow Tax Exemption option under <strong>WooCommerce > Tax Exemption > Settings</strong>, your customers can either be exempted from tax or the tax exemption form can be submitted on their <em>My account</em> page.</p>
<h3>Adding a new form field for tax exemption</h3>
<p>Site admin can use the below custom form fields to create/update a tax exemption form under <strong>WooCommerce > Tax Exemption > Form Fields</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Text</li>
<li>Textarea</li>
<li>Checkbox</li>
<li>Number</li>
<li>Email</li>
<li>Phone</li>
<li>Radio</li>
<li>Select</li>
<li>File Upload</li>
</ul>

<h3>Managing custom form fields</h3>
<p>Here <strong>Tax Payer Name, Tax Number, Exempt Reason and Exempt Certificate</strong> fields have been created and activated by default. Only the fields which are active will appear under <strong>My account > Tax Exemption</strong> for the customers. Using drag & drop method site admin can sort the fields listed here as per their wish.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-18734004620030 size-full aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/form-fields.png" alt="" width="1693" height="793" /></p>
<h3>Submitting tax exemption forms</h3>
<p>Customers can submit their tax exemption form under <strong>My account > Tax Exemption</strong> page. Once they have submitted their form it goes to <strong>pending</strong> status. Here customers can also have the ability to change/update their tax exemption submitted form by clicking the Resubmit button.</p>
<p>Alternatively, the site admin can also display the tax exemption form in a separate page by using our shortcode below, <strong>[asp_ute_tax_exemption_form]</strong></p>
<p><img class="wp-image-18734004620100 size-full aligncenter" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/submit-form.png" alt="" width="1544" height="1122" /></p>
<p>After submitting the tax exemption form,</p>

<h3>Managing tax-exempt user submissions</h3>
<p>Site admin can manage all the users’ submitted tax exemption requests under <strong>WooCommerce > Tax Exemption > Manage Tax Exemptions</strong>. To approve/reject the submitted requests, to update the expiration date for the approved requests and modify the submitted details, etc. all these things can be managed easily by the site admin here.</p>

<h3>Exempting tax at checkout</h3>

<h3>Changing tax exemption field positions via Cart/Checkout blocks</h3>

<p><img class="wp-image-18734004620551 size-full alignnone" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/edit-cart.png" alt="" width="1068" height="1101" /></p>

<p>Managing tax exemptions manually often leads to misplaced forms, missing documents, and delayed approval processes, causing frustration for customers and challenges for store owners. With the Tax Exemption for WooCommerce extension, you can automate every aspect of the tax exemption workflow. This intuitive extension allows merchants to restrict tax exemptions based on specific customers or user roles. It offers the flexibility to customize the tax exemption process, collect essential tax information and supporting documents directly from customers’ My accounts, and approve tax requests either automatically or manually through VAT validation. Furthermore, the extension ensures that both customers and administrators remain informed at every stage, whether requests are approved, rejected, or pending, through customizable email notifications. In short, this extension streamlines your tax processes, reduces errors, and minimizes manual effort.</p>
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<p>After successfully installing this plugin, a text exemption feature will be successfully added to your WooCommerce store. Once this feature is enabled on your store, the customer can easily submit the tax information or VAT number and doc via a simple form. Admin can review and approve or reject this request manually. Moreover, the system can automatically verify this through a VAT number.</p>
<h3><strong>Tax Exemption Methods</strong></h3>
<p>Two main methods are used:</p>
<h3>Remove Tax Automatically:</h3>
<p>Merchants have the option to designate specific customers or user roles as tax-exempt, eliminating the need for these customers to submit any forms or apply for exemption. Exempted customers will not be charged tax in their upcoming orders.</p>
<h3>Remove Tax Manually:</h3>
<p>Customers can apply for tax exemption by completing a tax exemption form available in their My Account section. Once a request is submitted, the merchant receives an email notification, allowing them to either approve or deny the exemption request. Alternatively, merchants can update a customer’s exemption status through the user detail page in the back-office system.</p>
