Use VAT Buddy to check the validity of a company's VAT number in real-time, so that you know that the company is still valid.

The validation is done by use of the EU VIES tax validation service of the European Union. All European Union countries that implement the VAT regulations are supported. The app utilizes smart syntax and autocomplete algorithms to check the VAT number syntactically before sending the request to the VIES tax validation service.

Furthermore, you may view the VAT rates that apply on all the EU countries that use the VAT system, and optionally update the results. Additionally, you may download the current official EU document concerning the VAT rates at the EU website.
