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.
