  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Go to Custom form styles.
  3. Select the template, then click Edit.
  4. Go to the Content tab.
  5. Click the Pencil icon in the second or middle section of the template.
  6. Tick the VAT box.
  7. Click Done

Hi,

I've done what you've said but I don't seem to have that box to tick. I have everything from Rate, Quantity, SKU, etc. but nothing for VAT.

I'm currently using the month free trial. Does this affect the option to add the customer VAT number?
