General information

The value added tax identification number serves the value added tax in the trade of the European Union members for the accounting among themselves. The assignment at enterprises takes place on request at a responsible authority in the member country, in which the seat of the requesting enterprise is.

The list is by far not yet complete here, however gradually on all member countries will be extended. Pertinent references, in particular also to the new members, are always welcome.

To none the described USt IdNr is well-known me whether they have a sub-structure or it concerns sequential numbers, which however for the computation of the Pruefziffer(n) of subordinated importance is.

The countries France, Greece, Spain are characterised after my past knowledge by particularly citizen-friendly and a democratic constitutional state appropriate behavior, by not giving any official data the structure of their USt IdNr and/or or the existence of a check digit denials contradict the publication. To which the citizen is also still by facts is unnecessarily continued to confuse, it does not understand its tax declaration already.

The Voragbe of the European Union for the structure of the USt IdNr is quite simply held, two digit national designation followed according to ISO (e.g. RK, DE ), of maximally 12 places, whereby numbers and letters are permitted. Within these conditions authorities the USt IdNr assign local on request to the enterprises in their member country. Fail accordingly variously also the designations, structures and check digit computation methods.

To compute the numeric parts of the Steuernmmer without the check digits as number regarded around the proof figure:

The integral difference is determined by the number to the next smaller multiples of 97 (modulo 97).
The check digit is the difference from integral remainder to 97.

Example 1366959pp
Step 1: Mod 97	1366959 ÷ 97 = 14092 remainder of 35
Step 2:	97 - 35 = 62
136695962

The Danish USt No. contains no own check digit, yet exists a test algorithm, which is so co-ordinated that the check digit must always result in zero. Therefore the explizierte denomination of the check digit is also not necessary.

The number sequence is weighted from left to the right with 2, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
The products are summed up.
The full remainder is determined by the sum to the next lower by 11 divisible number (modulo 11).
If the remainder is zero, the number sequence is valid, otherwise not.

Sum		142
Step 3: Sum mod 11		142 ÷ 11 = 12 remainder of 10
Result check digit		10 i.e. the number is umgueltig
The number 13585628 would be valid, there 143 ÷ 11 = 0

The procedure for the check digit computation is officially in the federal law gazette described.[5]

m = 10, n = 11

Initial values: Product = m, sum = 0
From left to the right the following steps for all numbers are repeated:
1. Sum = (number + product) mod m
2. If sum = 0 then applies for sum = m
3. Product = (2 × sum) mod n
The check digit arises as a result of n - product.

If the difference is 10, p = 0 applies

Example DE 136,695 97p
Number without Check digit	2a walked + b		2c walked
Number without Check digit	Sum = Product + Number	Sum = Sum mod 10	Product = (2 × sum) mod 11

The NUMBER sequence is weighted from left ton the right with 7, 9, 10, 5, 8, 4, 2.
The products are summed up.
The full remainder is determined by the sum to the next lower by 11 divisible number (modulo 11).
The check digit arises as a result of the Subraktion of the ganzahliges division remainder of 11.

If the difference is 10, the number is not assigned.
If the difference is 11, p = 0 applies

Example FI 1366959p

Beginning from on the right of to the left the numbers are multiplied ascending by 2 highly number of digits.
The remainder is determined by the product sum to the next smaller multiples of 11 (modulo 11).

If the difference is larger nine, p = 0 applies

The computation of the check digit takes place then according to a uniform pattern.[7]

All numbers are weighted from right to the left, beginning with the next to last number (thus before the place of the check digit), with their position in the number sequence, i.e. the next to last number is multiplied by 2, the next by 3, etc..
The products are summed up.
The ganzahlige remainder to the next smaller multiples of 23 calculates (modulo 23).

The tax number is not a speaking number, but a seven-place random number within the range of 1000000 to 9999999, to which at figure eight place a check digit is attached. A new tax number is produced only directly with assignment, i.e. no numbers on supply become angelegt.

All numbers are weighted from right to the left, beginning with the next to last number (thus before the place of the check digit), with their position in the number sequence, i.e. the next to last number is multiplied by 2, the next by 3, etc..
The products are summed up.

For the assignment there is no center European authority, but each member country regulates this within own responsibility. In Deutschalnd the Federal Office for finances is (BfF) [1, 2], in Austria the respective responsible person the tax office [ 4 ], forthe value added tax , responsibly. A description for the correct application of the tax number is with Akademie.de - to calculation without borders.[6]

Apart from the assignment of the value added tax identification numbers there is also still another place, with which one can to be able to be confirmed the validity of a foreign USt IdNr. The authorities give thereby only information over correctness to the respective number, it give however no large instructions (finanzstatus, credit-worthiness, seriosity etc..) over the enterprise. In Deutschalnd for it likewise the BfF is responsible.[3]
