Why verifying VAT IDs is crucial for your EU business
- Ensuring Tax Exemption: The VAT ID confirms that the recipient of a consignment is a business. This is a prerequisite for proving a VAT-exempt intra-community supply (intra-community supply: when one business supplies goods to another business in another EU member state and these goods arrive in the other member state).
- Preventing Tax Fraud: Verifying the VAT ID ensures both parties are legitimate businesses, thereby preventing fraudulent activities.
- Legal Compliance: Legally required, verifying the VAT ID ensures that essential legal requirements for tax exemption are met.
- Automatic Data Exchange: A correct VAT ID ensures the proper processing and allocation of reports between the tax authorities of EU member states.
