VAT validator

VAT Validator to validate VAT registration numbers

You can use the VAT Validator to upload a VAT registration file that includes the VAT registration numbers of your suppliers and customers.
After upload, Determination validates the VAT registration numbers against the government entity data. After validation completes, you can download a response file. The response file includes all the VAT registration numbers with a status of valid or invalid. For the invalid VAT registration numbers, a note from the government entity (if provided) is also included.

Before you begin

Before you use the VAT Validator to validate VAT registration numbers:
  • Download and review the sample input file that's available on the VAT ID Verification page. To access this page, go to
    Tools
    ,
    Tax Tools
    , and then
    VAT Registration Number Validation
    . The sample input file details all of the data required to create a VAT registration file.
  • To successfully validate VAT registration numbers, a VAT registration file can't exceed 1,000 records.
  • Be aware that only 1 VAT registration file can be uploaded at a time. After the file's uploaded, another file can't be uploaded until the status of the first uploaded file's complete.
