During the qualified check, it is checked whether the VAT ID under consideration is valid and whether the master data available in the system match the registered contractor data.
The interface of the European Commission (VIES) or the Federal Government (BZSt) can be selected.
In addition to the check of the validity of the VAT IDs, the VAT@GTC also checks address details and the company name. If there are differences to the master data saved in the VAT@GTC, they are highlighted in red.

The qualified examination via the BZSt web service is only possible with a valid German VAT identification number stored in the master data. |
