Need text VAT shifted to <VAT-code> on invoice

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.0

Because we are also selling goods to other companies we need to make some changes to our webshop.
Having the customer fill in the VAT code and checking the VAT code is no problem. Also preventing that VAT is calculated in this case can be accomplished.

However only when a valid VAT code is available we have to put a line of text on the invoice (at least on the pdf) stating that the tax (VAT) has been shifted to that VAT-code. In Dutch: 'BTW verlegd naar <BTW-nummer>'. How can i accomplish this?

Hi Nicolas,

I use the pdf Hikashop pdf plugin. The customer receives the invoice with his e-mail and we print the pdf for our administration.

Because of dutch tax rules we need the text 'BTW verlegd naar <address_vat> on this pdf invoice..

I managed to get the address_vat in the Address field but for the tax we have to print the line BTW verlegd ... on the PDF invoice and only in the case where a address_vat has been filled in by the customer.

I think i have to edit the file plugins/hikashop/attachinvoice/attachinvoice/invoice.php but i have no idea how to print the correct information here.

Hi Nicolas,

In another topic I found part of the solution and after some testing i used the following php code and put it at the bottom of the file plugins/hikashop/attachinvoice/attachinvoice/invoice.php just before the </page> tag.

<?php if (!empty($order->billing_address->address_vat) && $order->billing_address->address_country !== 'Netherlands'){
	echo 'BTW verlegd naar: '.$order->billing_address->address_vat;
}
?>
