Check the validity of a VAT Number and receive a free PDF Print Out of the EU VAT VIES record of enquiry
ProRail uses Valdit VAT Check
when managing the Dutch National Railway Infrastructure.
You should check the validity of the customer’s VAT registration number when zero-rating supplies to VAT registered customers in another Member State. Checks on the validity of a customer’s number should be made using the Europa website.
When making an enquiry on the Europa website you must identify yourself by entering your own VAT registration number and print out a record of the date and time that the enquiry was made and the result of the enquiry. If it later turns out that the customer’s number was invalid, you will be able to rely on the validation record as one element to demonstrate your good faith as a compliant business and to justify why you should not be held liable for any VAT fraud and revenue losses which occur.
