Use Case

Audit-proof and platform-independent

With the CheckVAT ID web application, you can check individual and multiple VAT identification numbers (VAT ID No.) simultaneously and document the results in an audit-proof manner.

The data required for this is obtained from the respective tax office and the European Commission’s VAT Information Exchange System (VIES). The CheckVAT ID web application is managed 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 provision of the valid VAT identification number (VAT ID number) of the recipient of a supply as part of a complete recapitulative statement is an explicit requirement for the tax exemption of intra-Community supplies (regulated in the Quick Fixes to the EU VAT reform).

The supplier must ensure that the VAT registration number of the customer is valid at the time of delivery (§ 6a para. 1 no. 4 UStG). In case of non-compliance, the tax exemption does not apply.
