Frequently asked questions

How do I check a Estonia VAT number?

Enter it in the validator on this page. It checks the format and checksum and asks the EU's VIES system whether the number is registered, with company name and address where available. The vatcheckapi API does the same from your code.

Is the Estonia VAT number the same as the tax number?

Not always. In many countries the VAT number is the company's tax or registration number with the country prefix, in others it is a separate number. Only VAT-registered businesses have one, and only those numbers can be validated in VIES.

The standard rate is 24%. See VAT rates in Estonia for reduced rates and a calculator.
