CheckVAT ID (eClear) is a web-based VAT identification number verification solution developed by eClear AG, a German tax technology company. Although the product name provided is ClearVAT, the supplied URL leads to CheckVAT ID, a separate product within eClear's tax compliance suite. CheckVAT ID helps businesses verify the validity of European Union VAT identification numbers before conducting business-to-business (B2B) transactions. It connects to official EU VAT verification systems to perform individual and bulk checks, helping companies confirm that their trading partners are properly registered for VAT purposes. Its key features include standard VAT number validation, qualified verification through matching registered business names and addresses, batch verification through CSV uploads, automated verification records, and detailed reporting. The platform also supports checks across all 27 EU member states and provides verification documentation with timestamps for audit and compliance purposes. Businesses can retain verification records for up to ten years, helping them demonstrate due diligence and support VAT exemption claims during tax audits. Its browser-based interface allows companies to perform checks without complex software installations or integrations.
