Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

Here are the most common questions about VAT and EORI number registration. If you still need help, don’t hesitate to contact us.

What happens if my application gets rejected?

We’ll work directly with the tax or customs authority to resolve the issue — and resubmit where needed.

What documents do I need?

Typically: a company extract (Chamber of Commerce), director ID, business address proof, and in some cases, contracts or invoices.

Can I apply for multiple countries?

Yes. We support multi-jurisdiction VAT registrations. Let us know where you plan to operate, and we’ll guide you through the process.

Do I need both a VAT and an EORI number?

Yes, if you plan to import or export goods. The EORI is for customs clearance, while the VAT number is required for tax registration and reporting.

How long does it take to get a VAT number?

Timeframes vary by country. In the Netherlands, it usually takes 2-6 weeks.
