About Vatlayer

What is Vatlayer?

Vatlayer is a simple, HTTPS-secured JSON API that validates EU VAT numbers and retrieves current VAT rates for all EU member states. It helps businesses and developers automate tax compliance by verifying VAT numbers and calculating prices with correct VAT, directly from the European Commission's databases.

Who is Vatlayer for?

Vatlayer is ideal for e-commerce platforms, SaaS companies, accountants, and any business selling to EU customers. It solves the problem of manual VAT checks and outdated rate tables. It is not for non-EU VAT validation or businesses that need a full accounting suite.

Real use cases

Use Vatlayer to validate customer VAT numbers during checkout, calculate net/gross prices for invoices, or display accurate VAT rates based on IP address. It integrates anywhere via a simple URL structure and returns lightweight JSON data.
