SAP-based add-on for VAT ID

This includes that the delivery goes to another EU member state and that the accepting company is registered there with a VAT identification number.

Among other things, the supplying company must show the customer's VAT ID as well as its own. In addition, you are obliged to check whether the VAT ID of the purchasing company is valid.

This is done in Germany at the Federal Tax Office and for other European member countries via the European Commission's VAT Information Exchange System (VIES).

A change in the law, which is expected to come into force on January 1, 2020, will tighten the conditions. Companies will then have to additionally document that they have validated the VAT ID.

To enable companies to process this task reliably and quickly, Allgeier has developed the SAP add-on "VAT ID check". The solution automatically checks the VAT ID number of the customer specified in the invoice at VIES and saves the process in an audit-proof manner.

Questions about the add-on can be answered by Markus Helfen (markus.helfen@allgeier-es.com), Director Business Development at Allgeier Enterprise Services.
