VAT identification number validation

VAT Check: Before doing business across borders in the EU, companies need to validate the VAT identification number – also called VAT number – of their business partners.

The VAT Check via JustOn Billing & Invoice Management gives our customers the security that an European VAT information exists.

This means our customers can ensure that their business partners are subject to value-added tax and can sell their goods or services VAT-free in B2B business. If companies do not chec k the VAT identification number and it is found that the customer’s information was incorrect, the companies will pay the VAT themselves.

VAT information at a glance

Using the integration with VIES you can directly check if a company is registered for cross-border business within the EU. This validation is done by an automatic check of the VAT number of one or more accounts.

As a result, you will know if the VAT number is valid.

You will also receive:

• the name and address associated linked to the VAT number (if permitted by the relevant country)
• the timestamps of the last checks and
• any error messages.
