It’s a legal requirement in many parts of the world – including within the European Union and the UK – to process the Tax Registration Number (TRN) of every supplier to your business.

- The TRN (also known as a VAT number) is valid.
- The registered name and address of the business matches your records.
Checking TRNs might seem like a task with only two clear outcomes; either each number you process will be verified by a tax authority or it will be incorrect and therefore rejected.
