(EU) **VIES API VAT validation** for `dotnet` based on the most current information from the official source\r\n\r\nThe `vies-dotnet-api` enables users to verify the validity of a specified VAT identification number for intra-Community goods or services transactions\r\n\r\n# Installing\r\n\r\nThe fastest way of getting started using Vies api is to install the NuGet package.\r\n\r\n**Package Manager:**\r\n```\r\nInstall-Package vies-dotnet-api -Version 3.1.0\r\n```\r\n**.NET CLI:**\r\n```\r\ndotnet add package vies-dotnet-api --version 3.1.0\r\n```\r\n**Package Reference**\r\n```\r\n\u003cPackageReference Include=\"vies-dotnet-api\" Version=\"3.1.0\" /\u003e\r\n```\r\n# Usage\r\n\r\n### Checking a VAT number using the vies-dotnet-api\r\n\r\nChecking if an EU VAT number is **valid**\r\n```\r\n var result = ViesManager.IsValid(\"RO123456789\");\r\n```\r\n or\r\n\r\n```\r\n var result = ViesManager.IsValid(\"RO\",\"123456789\");\r\n```\r\n\r\nChecking if an EU VAT number is **active**\r\n\r\n```\r\nvar viesManager = new ViesManager();\r\n\r\nvar result = await viesManager.IsActiveAsync(\"RO123456789\");\r\n```\r\nor\r\n\r\n```\r\nvar result = await viesManager.IsActiveAsync(\"RO\",\"123456789\");\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Clarification\r\n\r\n__Since January 1, 2021 the UK is no longer a member of the European Union and as a result, the VIES service provided by the European Commission no longer validates VAT ID's for the UK.__\r\n\r\nChecking GB VAT number\r\n```\r\n...\r\nvar validationResult = await viesManager.IsActiveAsync(\"GB434031494\");\r\n```\r\nwill return the following message:\r\n\r\n***Great Britain(GB)*** is no longer supported by VIES services provided by EC since ***2021-01-01*** because of ***Brexit***.\r\n\r\n****\r\n\r\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.buymeacoffee.com/vXCNnz9\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://cdn.buymeacoffee.com/buttons/lato-yellow.png\"
