Can I check a VAT Number online?

[Zahidparvez]

Is there any way we can check registered company details under a VAT number online to check if a VAT invoice is legit or not.

Try this website ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do

It allows you to check every EU country.

To check whether a UK VAT number is valid you can call HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) VAT Helpline on 0845 010 9000. Lines are open 8.00 am to 8.00 pm Monday to Friday.
You can also check European Union VAT numbers online.

I found a website where you can verify several VAT numbers at once.

For many it can be very helpful.

On VATnumber.info you can validate VAT numbers one by one or a whole list in one go.
