README

The provided module offers convenient functionality that allows administrators to configure country-specific VAT values for countries, categories, and products.

When determining the applicable VAT rate, the module follows a specific priority order. The priority is as follows:

• Product-Specific VAT Value: If a product has a country-specific VAT value assigned to it, that VAT rate takes the highest priority. It means that the assigned VAT rate for the product will override any other VAT rates set for categories or countries.
• Category-Specific VAT Value: In the absence of a product-specific VAT value, the module will check if the category to which the product belongs has a country-specific VAT value assigned. If a category has a VAT rate assigned for a particular country, that VAT rate will be used for all products within that category.
• Country-Specific VAT Value: If neither the product nor the category has a country-specific VAT value assigned, the module will default to the VAT rate assigned specifically for the country.
