Sebastian de GoeijShort answer
VIES is the EU system to check whether a VAT number of a business in another member state is valid. It matters for intra-community supplies and services with 0% or reverse charge: without a valid customer VAT number, VAT may still be due. Autoboeker checks VAT numbers via VIES during processing, for all connected packages.
Key takeaways
- VIES checks EU VAT numbers.
- Crucial for intra-community 0% and reverse charge.
- Keep the check result as evidence.
- Autoboeker checks automatically.
