VAT Identification Numbers - INI

VAT Identification Numbers are unique identifiers issued by tax authorities in various countries to identify businesses and taxable entities. Different formats are adopted worldwide, primarily in EU member states, playing a crucial role in cross-border transactions and tax filings. Validity can be verified through validation systems such as VIES (VAT Information Exchange System).
