VIES

The VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) is an online tool used within the EU to verify the validity of VAT numbers for cross-border transactions.

In Luxembourg, businesses rely on VIES to ensure that their trading partners are registered for VAT, reducing the risk of tax fraud. VIES facilitates smoother customs and tax processes and is an essential component of Luxembourg’s integrated VAT system, which promotes transparency and efficiency in the European single market.
