Checking the validity of VAT numbers of other companies and especially new business partners is something quite important for online sellers.

When talking about selling B2B in Europe, the VAT numbers of the parties involved must be validated in advance to ensure that they belong to the respective companies and that those numbers are valid at the time of purchase. Only then is the sale actually a B2B transaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are also other situations in the daily life of an online seller in which checking a VAT number makes sense – and with the right tools this is no big deal at all. Usually, VAT IDs are checked with the VIES (VAT Information Exchange System<\/a>) of the European Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
