Secure intra-European tax advantages

The VAT ID Check - Cloud API provides a REST interface which can be used to query the web services of various institutions (BZsT, VIES) to validate VAT ID numbers. In addition, we offer a corresponding client application to seamlessly integrate the validation process into SAP.

Overview

From 01.01.2020, German companies are obliged to validate the VAT ID number of the purchaser when supplying goods to other European countries. The VAT ID Check - Cloud API provides a convenient HTTP API to perform the required qualified validation.

Avoid exceptional tax payments

The VAT reform is intended to facilitate intra-Community trade in Europe by means of these immediate measures, also known as quick fixes, and to further reduce its susceptibility to fraud. If companies do not meet the obligation to provide proof, they cannot assert their claim for tax exemption.

Streamline business processes

With our optional client application, the process of validation can be fully automated and integrated into SAP. Time-consuming manual validation is therefore no longer necessary.
