Confirmation of VAT identification numbers
From the beginning of 2020, the verification of the VAT identification number (VAT ID) is of key importance. In order to claim tax exemption, it is urgent for companies to verify the VAT ID of the purchaser in many cases.
What is the difference between a simple and a qualified confirmation?
The simple confirmation provides information about the validity of the foreign VAT ID at the time of the request/verification.
With a qualified confirmation, you will also receive information as to whether the company master data you have filed (company name including legal form, company location, postal code and street) match the data registered in the entrepreneur file of the respective EU member state.
Important: A legally compliant verification of the VAT ID must be carried out by a qualified confirmation of the BZSt.
