Using one or the other you can have the taxes apply to the product prices or not. You can potentially have these taxes apply only on the checkout by turning off the "show taxed prices" option of the HikaShop configuration, but that means that the prices on the products listing and product pages will be displayed without any tax. Otherwise, the taxes will apply everywhere, once the user is logged in with his user account. An alternative will be to develop a plugin and have it add taxes itself to the cart on the checkout. I've built such plugin before: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/taxes/873285-fix-tax-import.html#190511](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/taxes/873285-fix-tax-import.html#190511) But that plugin is to add fixed amount taxes during the checkout. So I don't think that it will work out for you since I suppose that the tax that you want to add is percentage based. So it would require a modified version of the plugin.

I suppose that those types are determinate by the field "VAT number" at table address (when you ask the billing address), aren't?, I imagine asking the customer the same way using a custom field: if he need or not the "equivalence surcharge", and if the answer is yes, to change the type of customer and add this one to the total amount before to pay. Is it possible? I was looking for doing some test at "Custom Fields", but I didn't find how to.

If you goal is to change the type according to another custom field ; you won't be able to do it without modify some HikaShop core files (which are not recommend, specially if you want to update HikaShop afterwards) So at this moment the best is to use a custom tax plugin like Nicolas told you in the previous message.
