The Government has launched a website for checking UK VAT numbers as EU VIES will no longer be available post Brexit.

This service can be used to check:

  • if a UK VAT registration number is valid
  • the name and address of the business the number is registered to

If you are a UK VAT-registered business, you can also use this service to prove when you have checked the validity of a UK VAT number.
