Advanced tools
VAT number validator for AI agents. EU VIES, AU ABR. Fraud risk scoring and name cross-check. PROCEED/HOLD verdict before any invoice payment.
AI-powered VAT fraud detection and live VAT number validation for AI agents.
Validates EU, UK, and AU VAT numbers against authoritative live sources and uses AI pattern analysis to detect invoice fraud before payment is authorised. Built for compliance agents, invoice processing workflows, and supplier onboarding pipelines.
VAT fraud costs EU businesses €50bn annually. The most common attack vectors — missing trader fraud, carousel fraud, deregistered entity re-use — share one common signal: a VAT number that looks valid but isn't registered to the entity on the invoice.
Claude and other LLMs cannot reliably check live VAT registration status from training data. This tool calls the authoritative sources directly:
| Tool | Free Tier | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| validate_vat | 50/month | Before approving any EU, UK, or AU supplier invoice -- auto-detects jurisdiction, validates, and runs AI fraud analysis in one call |
| get_vat_rates | 50/month | Before calculating cross-border invoice totals |
