Include the country prefix. EU numbers are checked against VIES in real time, UK numbers with a separate live check.

How Cyprus VAT numbers are built

CY followed by 8 digits and a check letter.

Check digit

The final letter is calculated from the 8 digits (modulo 26). Numbers starting with 12 are not valid VAT numbers. The validator checks both.

Common mistakes

The check letter is part of the number: without it the format fails.

Is the number registered?

A valid format and check digit only mean the number could exist. Whether it is currently registered for VAT is known to the Cyprus Tax Department, and VIES asks that register for you. Where Cyprus shares them, VIES also returns the registered name and address.

Check a Cyprus number with the validator above, in the VAT number checker, or up to 50 at once with the bulk VAT validator.
