More detail
VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) is the European Commission system used to check VAT registration for cross-border transactions within the European Union. The integration brings EU VAT number validation into the everyday PANTHEON workflow.
Checks can be available where the VAT ID is used, such as counterparty setup or document processing. This reduces manual copying and keeps evidence of the validation with the business transaction.
The tax treatment of a transaction depends on its facts; a VIES result is one input to that assessment.
