Check the VAT ID number of your EU trading partners

Use Case

Audit-proof and platform-independent

With the CheckVAT ID web application, you can check individual and multiple VAT ID numbers simultaneously and document the results in an audit-proof manner.

The data required for this is obtained from the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt), the European Commission’s VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) and the Federal Ministry of Finance in Austria (BMF). The CheckVAT ID web application is controlled via an online portal and works independently of platforms and ERP systems.

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 a complete recapitulative statement (CR) 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 is correct. of the purchaser is valid at the time of delivery (§ 6a para. 1 no. 4 UStG). In case of non-compliance, the tax exemption is not applicable.
