VIES VAT status check from PANTHEON

PANTHEON is connected to the EU VIES database. For a business partner we check whether they are in the VAT system, and the answer is VALID or INVALID. The reference number of the check is saved in the note of the import or export document, so you no longer have to check customers and suppliers by hand.

VIES check result in PANTHEON: status VALID and the reference number of the check

Who it is for

The solution is for all companies that import or export and today check customers and suppliers by hand in the VIES database, and then save the reference number in PANTHEON or write it down somewhere.

The problem it solves

Supplies of goods to a customer in another EU member state are generally invoiced without Croatian VAT, but on the condition that the customer trades with a valid VAT identification number. If the number is not valid, the seller risks the tax authority asking for the VAT to be paid. A VIES check and a saved record of it show that you acted with due care. That is why it matters that the check is done for every partner and that the result is kept with the document, not only in someone’s memory or on a screenshot. Check the exact procedure for your case with your accountant or tax adviser.

A manual check means going to the VIES page, copying the result and saving the reference number. Here everything is done from PANTHEON.

What you get

  • The check straight from PANTHEON, without going to the VIES page by hand and copying the result.
  • The status of the subject: VALID or INVALID.
  • The reference number of the check written to the document note, as proof that the check was done. It can be found on the import or export document itself when needed for an inspection.

How it works day to day

The check is used in one of two ways:

  1. in the subject master, to check a partner,
  2. on the import or export documents themselves, to check and write the reference number to the note.

How it is set up

The wizard we built is loaded into PANTHEON. After that it is used in the subject master or on import and export documents.

Connection to PANTHEON

The solution works inside PANTHEON: the check is started from the subject master or from import and export documents, and the reference number stays in the document note.

This is one of the add-ons we develop for PANTHEON. See the others on the page Add-ons and development.
