What is a VAT Number?
A VAT (Value Added Tax) identification number is a unique identifier assigned to businesses registered for VAT in the European Union and the UK. It is used for cross-border trade, invoicing, and tax compliance within the EU single market.
VAT Number Structure:
CC + Country-specific format
CC — Two-letter country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, except Greece uses EL)
Format — Varies by country: digits, letters, or a combination
Important Note
This tool validates the format of VAT numbers only. To verify that a VAT number is actually registered and active, use the official EU VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) service.
