Use the VAT Validation Endpoint in Make, Zapier & n8n
The VAT ID Validation API endpoint allows businesses to quickly and accurately verify the validity of European VAT numbers – an essential step for ensuring compliance with European tax regulations and fighting fraud. This API checks whether the provided VAT (Value Added Tax) ID is valid using the official VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) service. If available, it also returns the associated business name and address for verified VAT numbers.
Key Features
- Real-Time VAT Number Verification: Instantly verify if a VAT ID is valid and registered with the relevant European authority via VIES.
- Business Information Lookup: For valid VAT numbers, retrieve the official business name and address as returned by the VIES service.
- Flexible Input: Supports both complete VAT IDs or separated components (country code and VAT number) for easy implementation in various systems.
- Timestamped Responses: Every verification response includes a timestamp for proper audit trails.
Use Cases
- European VAT Compliance: Ensure all your transactions comply with EU VAT directives by validating customer and supplier VAT numbers automatically.
- Reduce VAT Fraud: Protect your business from fraud and avoid penalties by identifying invalid or fake VAT IDs in real time.
- Accurate VAT Invoicing: Auto-fill billing details and guarantee correct VAT information for invoicing, accounting, and VAT reporting.
- Streamlined Onboarding: Speed up B2B onboarding by pulling verified company details—directly from VIES—whenever a valid VAT number is provided, reducing manual entry errors.
With this endpoint, you ensure each transaction is backed by verified VAT credentials, supporting your compliance, financial accuracy, and operational efficiency.
Benefits of the VAT Validation Endpoint
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
