VAT checking systems aim to validate the business information of VAT-registered taxpayers through a central database. This business information includes the name, address, VAT number, VAT status, bank account, and many others. Taxpayers should reach the information shared by other taxpayers (suppliers or customers) to stay compliant and avoid fines or sanctions imposed by government authorities.
VAT payers are able to check the relevant VAT-related information manually through a database or website. This is mostly advised for small enterprises that have small numbers of transactions, rather than for medium and large enterprises, which may incur time and cost inefficiencies due to their high volume of transactions and customers. As a result, these organizations are advised to use a tax technology solution integrated with their ERP systems to keep track of their trade partners’ VAT information.
