CSharpVatChecker

A simple C# VAT Checker. Of a supplied Country Code and VAT Number, this library checks the VIES database (http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/).

I couldn't find a free REST implementation.

Installing

TriggerMe.VATChecker is available from NuGet.

dotnet add package TriggerMe.VATChecker

Usage

var vatQuery = new VATQuery();
var vatResult = await vatQuery.CheckVATNumberAsync("IE", "3041081MH"); // The Squarespace VAT Number

Console.WriteLine(vatResult.Valid); // Is the VAT Number valid?
Console.WriteLine(vatResult.Name);  // Name of the organisation

Building

Compile the library using dotnet build. For reference, check the sample project.
