Hi all,

I need a VAT number of some company in the United Kingdom. I am not able to locate a site, where I can find this.

Can you advise, if such a registry exist or not?

I found only http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ but there is just registration number, not VAT number.

Thanks for any reply.

Best,
Michal.

...to Money Matters.

I don't think there's a list of VAT numbers, but you should, of course, be able to get it from that company.

Not sure whether that helps you...?

I only know of the opposite May 14, 2004

I mean, I know you can check if a VAT number is correct and existing (all EU countries). Here is the link:

Sorry I cannot help you
Have a nice weekend

Verifying of VAT number May 14, 2004

All customer have to give your their VAT number.

"You can verify the validity of a VAT number issued by any Member State by selecting that Member State from the drop-down menu provided, and entering the number to be validated."

See:

http://europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_customs/vies/cs/vieshome.htm

Not all companies have one May 14, 2004

In the UK it is not compulsory to register for VAT unless the annual turnover exceeds £56,000. Small translation agencies, for example, might fall below this threshold.

Exactly. It's worth noting, of course, that businesses who have opted not to register for VAT (even if they don't have to, they can register) cannot deduct input tax on business purchases. IOW they have to pay VAT just like a private person.

Best regards, Ralf

New Link to EU VAT Confirmation Jan 11, 2017

Both 2004 links are no longer valid. You can now confirm a Value Added Tax number of any member European state here http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/.

After Brexit, however, the U.K. will no longer listed.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to start with a company name and get its VAT number, except to ask the company itself.

After Brexit, it is no longer possible to check VAT UK numbers on the VIES system.
You need an application dedicated to the verification of UK VAT numbers.
One of these free apps can be found here: http://vat-number-validation.eu/mass-uk-vat-numbers-validation/

Yes, but here: http://vat-number-validation.eu/mass-uk-vat-numbers-validation/ you can perform mass verification by pasting e.g. 500 numbers and wait for automatic verification.
You can save the verification result in a csv or pdf file or send it to any email.
The application is also free.

On the page https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/check-vat-number/enter-vat-details, you must perform the verifications manualy one number after the other. It is very time consuming.
