Cool :slight_smile: Feel free to konquer http://dev.oxidforge.org whether you want to set it open source.

Quick question, maybe someone has a quick answer…

We found this source which helps to check “Ausländische” (foreign EU) VAT Id’s - http://evatr.bff-online.de/eVatR/xmlrpc/

Does anyone know where German VAT Id’s can be checked?

Thanks

Hello Ashant,

checking the VAT IDs on the German Federal Central Tax Office page is not recommended: They shut down their servers for mainenance from 11 PM through 5 AM. Also, think of the poor Non-Germans. AFAIK, there is no way to check the VAT ID for them on the above named site.

Maybe this is a good alternative:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do

Will you set the module open source?

Regards

Hi Marco,

OS or not, is not sure yet. I’ll update it here which way we go…

I couldn’t find any API links at the ec.europe.eu site. Did you notice any?

Also, I was wondering by the Bundessteueramt is providing the service only for checking Foreign EU VAT-ID’s. We tried some German VAT numbers according to these instructions and the calls were failing.

ps: I found the 5.00am to 11.00pm timings somewhat “internet unfriendly” too :))

Thanks

Hi,

I found this:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faqvies.do#item16

which leads to a wsdl service:
