Your VAT ID is automatically validated using eVatR, the German VAT ID validation service. To ensure accuracy, we revalidate your VAT ID daily. However, VAT ID verification may occasionally fail for several reasons.
Common Reasons for VAT ID Rejection
1. eVatR Service Unavailable
The eVatR service might be temporarily offline. If this occurs, please wait until the service is back online before attempting to add your VAT ID.
2. Invalid VAT ID
The eVatR service may indicate that your VAT ID is invalid. To resolve this, ensure that:
- The information in your Spreadconnect account matches the details registered with your VAT ID.
- To confirm the details registered with your VAT ID, visit the VIES on-the-Web - European Commission page.
Additionally, your VAT ID must be compatible with Spreadconnect's VAT ID.
How to Check VAT Compatibility
- Visit the eVatR Service Page.
(Note: This page is available in German only.) - Enter the following details:
- Field 1: Spreadconnect VAT ID.
- Field 2: The country where your VAT ID is registered.
- Field 3: Your VAT ID.
By following these steps, you can verify if your VAT ID is valid and compatible with Spreadconnect.
