node-euvies

Resolve EU VAT identification numbers to company details. It relies on European Union WSDL service at URL http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl

Installation

npm install euvies

How to use

var euVies = require('euvies');
euVies.checkVat({countryCode: "PL", vatNumber: "5842656844"}, function(err, res) {
  if(err) return console.log(err);
  console.log(res);
});

Should print:

{ countryCode: 'PL',
vatNumber: '5842656844',
requestDate: '2013-03-23+01:00',
valid: true,
name: 'DAMIAN KACZMAREK',
address: [ 'xxx', 'xxx' ] }

Alternative:

euVies.checkVat("PL5842656844", callback);

Notes:

• First check takes longer due to need to create a WSDL client.
• Invalid country will yield an error, otherwise a proper country and bad ID returns no error but an object with valid set to false.
