VAT identification numbers are unique identifiers assigned to taxable individuals or non-taxable legal entities that are registered for VAT.
A VAT identification number is a unique code for a taxable person (business) or non-taxable legal entity registered for VAT, also known as a VAT registration number. These numbers identify a customer's tax status and are included invoices, except for simplified invoices in some EU countries.
The importance of VAT numbers
-
Used to identify tax status of the customer;
-
Help to identify the place of taxation;
-
Mentioned on invoices (except simplified invoices in certain EU countries).
Format of VAT numbers
Generally, a VAT identification number begins with the code of the country concerned followed by a block of digits or characters. Each EU country uses its own format of VAT identification number.
Who needs a VAT number?
Most businesses (and other persons carrying out an economic activity) need a VAT number (see Article 214, VAT Directive).
A business is obliged to register for VAT when it:
-
carries out the supply of goods or services taxed with VAT;
-
makes an intra-EU acquisition of goods;
-
receives services for which it is liable to pay VAT (Article 196, VAT Directive);
-
supplies services for which the customer is liable to pay VAT (Article 196, VAT Directive).
​
When does a business need to register for VAT?
VAT registration is triggered by specific thresholds and business activities that vary by country. Here’s what businesses should plan for based on where their customers are and how they’re selling to them.

Selling to Customers in the EUWhen selling to the EU from outside, you must register for VAT before your first sale. Non-EU companies have no registration threshold; one transaction creates a VAT obligation. You can register in one EU member state under the One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme, which covers B2C sales across all EU countries and allows for a single centralized return.
-
Selling on online marketplaces Many countries' tax laws now mandate that marketplaces collect and remit VAT for specific transactions on behalf of their sellers. If you sell solely through a platform that manages VAT, such as Amazon Marketplace, the marketplace may collect the tax and provide customer invoices under its own VAT registration. However, if you also sell through your website or maintain inventory in the country for local fulfillment, you will likely need to register yourself. In certain jurisdictions, utilizing a marketplace does not exempt you from additional filing or reporting responsibilities, even if the platform handles the tax collection.
