Data acquisition

VATify.eu acquires data from public databases of different ministries and other government offices. It coveres most of Europe, country specific details are available below.

VATify.eu coverage is constantly expanding and needs new data sources. Do you know any?

Data source

VATify.eu verifies company details for companies from more than 40 countries. Basic source of data is VIES (VAT Information Exchange System). Data retrieved from VIES is regarded as correct and true, and can be used as proof for tax authorities, if the consultation number is present. Comparing available data from VIES and data available from member states tax and other fiscal authorities, VIES data is relatively limited. Also, VIES databases do not have data on companies from countries that are not members of the EU.

VATify.eu extracts additional data, made available by tax and other financial institutions in different countries. Extracted data can vary greatly from country to country, so VATify.eu unifies it and makes it available in the same format for every country or other entity, regardless of the origin of data.

New sources

The scope of retrieved and verified data is expanding constantly, but the source of data must be publicly available and in a form that can be automatically retrieved and processed. If you know of any new sources, please contact us.
