VAT validation evidence report

Create a timestamped record showing what VAT check was performed and what evidence was available.

What this check does

Evidence reports package VAT validation results into a record suitable for invoice and audit files.

What is a validation evidence report?

An evidence report records the identifier, source response and timestamp so a later reviewer can see what was checked and when.

What the result means

The report shows the submitted identifier, validation outcome and relevant evidence at the time of check.

What the result does not prove

It does not guarantee future registry status or independently verify the commercial transaction.

When businesses should use it

  • Audit files
  • Month-end invoice packs
  • Supplier/customer onboarding records

Example workflow

  1. Run the check.
  2. Download or store the evidence report.
  3. Attach it to the invoice or counterparty record.

Data sources

Versys validation output, optional VIES evidence and report hash verification.

Limitations

Evidence quality depends on source availability at lookup time.
