We have today submitted v1.2 of VAT Pro, the VAT Calculator for iPhone. Version 1.2 contains some major new features as well as over 50 more countries added to the database.

New Features:

1. European VAT Number Validator
   This feature allows you to enter a VAT Number and check that it is indeed valid. VAT Pro searches the European Commissions online database to validate the number entered and clearly identifies whether it is valid or not.
2. Reverse Calculation
   Now you can enter the VAT only amount and, based on the rate selected, VAT Pro will instantly calculate the Inclusive and Exclusive amounts for you.
3. User definable Tax Name
   For non UK users you can now change the tax name from VAT to anything you like. For example, ‘Tax’ or ‘TVA’
4. Rate Comparison
   By tapping the lock icon in VAT Pro you effectively ‘lock’ the selected rate as the default rate. If you then tap a different rate, VAT Pro will popup a screen showing you the difference between the locked rate and the one you have just selected. This proves useful when a VAT or Tax rate changes and you need to update your prices.
5. 56 New Countries
   VAT Pro’s database now contains VAT information for 56 more countries.
6. Splash Screen
   Although it takes literally a second to load, we thought we’d show you a lovely splash screen instead of a boring old black one.

Many of these new features have been suggested by our users so we do listen. If you have an idea to suggest, please drop us a line and we’ll see what we can do.
