Data sources
- VAT validation: VIES, European Commission DG TAXUD (https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/). Per its disclaimer, VIES serves to confirm VAT IDs for intra-Community supplies (Art. 31, Reg. (EU) 904/2010); this Actor is limited to that purpose and caches results to avoid repeat queries. VIES results come from national databases and do not by themselves grant VAT exemption.
- Entity data: GLEIF LEI data, CC0 (https://www.gleif.org).
Data protection (GDPR)
VIES may return a trader name and address, and for sole traders that is personal data under GDPR. Use them only for a lawful purpose such as KYB, AML/KYC, supplier due diligence or credit checks, not for marketing lists or unsolicited outreach. You are the controller for what you do with the output.
