- The XML-RPC interface for foreign VAT ID validation will be retired on 30 November 2025.
- All VAT ID validations must use a new REST API from that date.
- Companies must integrate the REST API themselves; BZSt will not provide implementation support.
- The REST API provides electronic response data that can be directly integrated and analyzed in company systems.
- For bulk VAT ID checks, companies must document proof of qualified queries using the data record from BZSt.
