Readme
VATEU is a lightweight quick and easy to use NPM package written in node.js A simple request with country code & VAT number ( timeout & debug optional ) will allow you to verify the validity of a VAT number issued by any European Union Member State via the VIES System. The returned response will show whether the VAT number is valid or not and any extra company information where available.
VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) is an electronic means of validating VAT-identification ( VATIN ) numbers of economic operators registered in the European Union for cross border transactions on goods or service.
