Some concerns currently exist as to the practical application of the Quick Fixes. However, it may be several weeks until the expected administrative circular is published by the Federal Ministry of Finance.

Tools for automated VAT-ID queries, such as the VAT-ID Verifier developed by us, can provide valuable assistance here.
