Background

Requirements for checking the VAT registration number

Since 1 January 2020, the specification of the valid VAT identification number (VAT ID number) of the recipient of delivery as part of the EC Sales List (ESL) is an explicit requirement for the tax exemption of intra-Community deliveries (regulated in the Quick Fixes to the EU VAT reform).

The supplier must make sure that the VAT number of the purchaser is correct and is valid at the time of delivery (§ 6a para. 1 no. 4 UStG). In case of non-compliance, the tax exemption is not applicable.
