Check EU VAT Number Button
8-3-20
Operating system: Windows
Hi there,

Version 2020-01-07 has a "Check EU VAT Number" button on the contacts. We have checked this out and whilst most countries are fine, we have found a handful of countries that always produce an “Invalid” message whereas if the same VAT numbers are checked directly on the website https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/ they produce valid messages – if it’s a valid VAT No obviously – we think the button is referencing an incorrect link for these countries. The countries that produce spurious results are:

AT – Austria
CY – Cyprus
ES – Spain
IE – Ireland
NL – The Netherlands

Could someone take a look at this please?

Thanks

Best wishes

Dave

Hi,
please check that settings in System>>Settings: Number Mask are correct.
That is the setting where to define the rules to check VAT number per country.
In case you are not familiar with, here the link to our manual:
