# European VAT number validation
A PHP package to verify the validity of a VAT number issued by any European Union Member State.
This package is basically calling web service provided by VIES for VAT number validation.
VIES API documentation : http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl
This package allows you to :
- validate a VAT number
- retrieve information like the name or the address of the company
## What is a VAT number?
A value added tax identification number or VAT identification number (VATIN) is an identifier used in many countries, including the countries of the European Union, for value added tax purposes.
## Installation
Install using Composer :
```
$ composer require cba85/eu-vat-validation dev-master
```
You must have PHP with Soap enabled.
## Usage
```php
$vatValidation = new Validation('FR12345678910');
/*
* Check VAT
*/
$vat = $vatValidation->checkVat();
/*
* Is VAT ID valid ?
*/
$valid = $vatValidation->isValid();
```
