European Tax Validation

When DPS is configured to use the vatlayer API service, you can ensure that valid tax registration numbers are entered for [firms] in the European Union. These options enable the DPS API to validate the firm tax registration numbers with the Belgian VAT Desk.

Your system administrator configures this process on the VAT Registration form in Utilities > Integrations. When the Vatlayer Registration information is configured, each address of the firm record that is in an EU country will have an option to validate the tax registration number associated to that address. No validation is done if the Tax Country is not an EU country.

To view a list of applicable countries, click the Member State drop-down list on this site: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vatRequest.html

Because a firm may have multiple addresses, each address may have its own tax registration and country code information entered. The Validate Tax Registration Number option is only validating the address on that row of the grid.
