EU TIN Validation

If you are validating an EU TIN, Fonoa will first perform the validation through VIES (TIN database at an EU level), and then, in case the TIN is not available in VIES database, we will automatically go one level deeper and check the TIN via the local government database.

For eg., for an Italian TIN, we’d first check if it exists in VIES, and would then immediately check if it exists in the Italian government database in case it is not active on VIES.

It is not uncommon to have companies who are not registered on VIES but have a valid Tax number in their local government database, which is why we stress this point so much.
