VAT check The Netherlands

During a VAT number validation, DISA checks the VAT number provided by a (potential) employee or partner. In addition, the status of the relevant company, as registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), can be investigated.

Checking a VAT number is done, for example, when you, as an organisation, plan to hire freelancers. A VAT number validation provides an answer to questions such as ‘does the freelancer have his or her own company?’ and ‘is this company registered with the Tax Authority?’

 

If a (potential) employee or partner has a VAT number, its validity can be checked. A (potential) employee or partner enters the VAT number via his or her online account, so that DISA can start checking the number. The result can then be found in the screening report.

An international VAT number check is also possible within DISA's services. DISA performs this check, for example, when the respective company is registered elsewhere in Europe. For this purpose, the VIES VIES (VAT Information Exchange System) register is checked, which is available on the European Commission’s website.

After selecting the country of registration, the international VAT number can be entered. The VIES register then indicates whether the number exists in their database. This check will also provide insight into the company name and address linked to the VAT number.

At DISA, the VAT check can become a permanent part of the screening process. When a company hires freelancers, it is important that the VAT number is checked and valid. The (potential) employee or partner you work with must meet the legal requirements. By checking the VAT number, you not only provide extra security, but you also help to prevent fraud by reducing compliance risks.

Why not choose to screen employees?

Too expensive

By screening your employees, you will immediately save your HR department time. Additionally, you save costs in the long run. Hiring a mis-hire involves significant costs and other risks. By knowing who you are hiring, you minimise the risks. At the end of the day, you’ll spend less money.

Creates distrust

Screening employees can actually contribute to a sense of security and trust within an organisation. When your employees know that colleagues have gone through the same screening process, you immediately create a safer and more trustworthy working environment.
