The core of the Valdit VAT number validation system is a shared component that directly connects to the EU VAT VIES system. This ensures that all checks are performed against the authoritative source for checking EU VAT numbers. The core functionality is extended in three ways:

  • Automated Validation to ensure timely validation across business processes
