About the Invoice Tax ID Validator
A tax number on an invoice you receive is a claim. Usually it is correct; sometimes it is mistyped; occasionally, on a fraudulent invoice, it is invented. Most tax numbers carry a check digit, which means a typo can be caught without asking anyone — and an invented number almost always fails it.
Paste one number or a column of them. Each is tried against every scheme here — EU and UK VAT numbers with their per-country formats and check digits, Indian GSTIN and PAN, Australian ABN and ACN, US EIN, and IBANs by the mod-97 rule — and the result says which scheme it matched, what it means, and what has actually been established.
That last part is the point. A correct check digit proves the number is well formed, not that it belongs to the company printed beside it. Only the tax authority’s own register — VIES, HMRC, ABN Lookup, the GST portal — proves that, and each result says so.
