Hello

#

I believe that is correct but give me a couple mins to verify

cosmic fulcrum Apr 17, 2025, 2:46 PM

#

Sounds good

#

Specifically, I need to be able to understand when:

EU VAT is completely invalid
EU VAT is valid, but not VIES registered
EU VAT is valid, and VIES registered

potent scarab Apr 17, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

I believe it is always valid or else we reject it being added.

cosmic fulcrum Apr 17, 2025, 2:48 PM

#

I see

potent scarab Apr 17, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

And then all the verification enums relate to the VIES verification

cosmic fulcrum Apr 17, 2025, 2:49 PM

#

I see, what does "unavailable" means then?

potent scarab Apr 17, 2025, 2:50 PM

#

To be clear, by "valid" I mean it passes the validation format.

I believe "unavailable" indicates that we attempted to verify but didn't receive the necessary information from the third parties and thus couldn't tell its status.

so if Stripe has successfully updated the customer object with a tax of type eu vat, it means it's valid (it passes the validation format), and if the verification field of the tax id object is verified it means it's registered on VIES, otherwise it's not. Correct?

potent scarab Apr 17, 2025, 2:52 PM

#

Overall yes. It is possible that we receive unavailable for some reason when the tax ID is actually registered on VIES but we don't know one way or another.

#

Otherwise, yes, what you stated would be correct.

Sounds good, thank you so much!
