Excel VBA VAT number check with http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/?locale=be
So I found this vba code to check VAT number via Excel. But the link that they used in the code doesnt work anymore and need to be adjusted to this link http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/?locale=be
But if I change the link I also need to change other elements, but unfortunatly I am still a beginner with regards to coding.
Does anyone know what I need to change in order to get the following?
VatNumberCheckExcel
The vba code is currently this:
Sub test()
Dim lrow As Long, data, obj As Object, i As Long, country, VATnum, webreply As String
lrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If lrow = 1 Then Exit Sub
If Range("a1") <> "VAT" Then Exit Sub
data = Range("a1:d" & lrow)
Set obj = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
For i = 2 To lrow
If Len(data(i, 1)) > 2 Then
country = Left(data(i, 1), 2)
VATnum = Right(data(i, 1), Len(data(i, 1)) - 2)
obj.Open "GET", "http://vatid.eu/check/" & country & "/" & VATnum & "/" & country & "/" & VATnum
obj.send
Do: DoEvents: Loop Until obj.ReadyState = 4
webreply = obj.responsetext
If InStr(webreply, "<error>") > 0 Then
data(i, 2) = False
Else
data(i, 2) = Split(Split(webreply, "<valid>")(1), "</valid>")(0)
data(i, 3) = Split(Split(webreply, "<name><![CDATA[")(1), "]]></name>")(0)
data(i, 4) = Split(Split(webreply, "<address><![CDATA[")(1), "]]></address>")(0)
End If
End If
Next
obj.abort
Range("a1:d" & lrow) = data
End Sub
Public Function VAT(rng As Range) As String
With CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
.Open "GET", "http://vatid.eu/check/" & Left(rng, 2) & "/" & Right(rng, Len(rng) - 2)
.send
Do: DoEvents: Loop Until .ReadyState = 4
VAT = Split(Split(.responsetext, "<valid>")(1), "</valid>")(0)
.abort
End With

I get No, invalid VAT number for cross border transactions within the EU with those values. What do you get if you manually input into system?

@Pᴇʜ ahaha I also need coffee dealing with this problem. I have fixed the formatting, but the vatid.eu/check url needs to be replaced by ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/?locale=be. Do you know how in what the other parameters needs to be adjusted in order to get the right data into the cells? Eternally grateful

The below seems to work for me, but you might need to change "Sheet1"
to the name of the sheet where your data is located.
Option Explicit
Private Sub VerifyEUVatNumbers()
Const EU_VIES_API_ENDPOINT As String = "http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/services/checkVatService"
' Change this to whatever your worksheet is called. I assume Sheet1
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim lastRow As Long
lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
.Range("B2:D" & lastRow).ClearContents ' Clear results from last time code was run
Dim euVATnumbersToCheck() As Variant
euVATnumbersToCheck = .Range("A2:D" & lastRow).Value2
Dim countryCode As String
Dim vatNumber As String
Dim envelopeToSend As String
Dim rowIndex As Long
Dim webClient As MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP60
Set webClient = New MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP60
With webClient
For rowIndex = LBound(euVATnumbersToCheck, 1) To UBound(euVATnumbersToCheck, 1)
countryCode = VBA.Strings.Left$(euVATnumbersToCheck(rowIndex, 1), 2)
vatNumber = VBA.Strings.Mid$(euVATnumbersToCheck(rowIndex, 1), 3)
envelopeToSend = soapEnvelope(countryCode, vatNumber)
.Open "POST", EU_VIES_API_ENDPOINT, True
.send envelopeToSend
.waitForResponse
euVATnumbersToCheck(rowIndex, 2) = TextBetweenTwoDelimiters(.responseText, "<valid>", "</valid>")
euVATnumbersToCheck(rowIndex, 3) = TextBetweenTwoDelimiters(.responseText, "<name>", "</name>")
euVATnumbersToCheck(rowIndex, 4) = TextBetweenTwoDelimiters(.responseText, "<address>", "</address>")
euVATnumbersToCheck(rowIndex, 4) = VBA.Strings.Replace(euVATnumbersToCheck(rowIndex, 4), VBA.Strings.Chr$(10), ", ", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare)
Next rowIndex
End With
.Range("A2").Resize(UBound(euVATnumbersToCheck, 1), UBound(euVATnumbersToCheck, 2)).Value2 = euVATnumbersToCheck
End With
End Sub
Public Function TextBetweenTwoDelimiters(ByVal textToParse As String, ByVal firstDelimiter As String, ByVal secondDelimiter As String) as String
Dim firstDelimiterIndex As Long
firstDelimiterIndex = VBA.Strings.InStr(1, textToParse, firstDelimiter, vbBinaryCompare)
If firstDelimiterIndex = 0 Then
Exit Function
Else
firstDelimiterIndex = firstDelimiterIndex + Len(firstDelimiter) ' Assume we don't delimiter included
End If
Dim secondDelimiterIndex As Long
secondDelimiterIndex = VBA.Strings.InStr(firstDelimiterIndex, textToParse, secondDelimiter, vbBinaryCompare)
If secondDelimiterIndex = 0 Then
Exit Function
Else
secondDelimiterIndex = secondDelimiterIndex ' Assume we don't delimiter included
End If
TextBetweenTwoDelimiters = VBA.Strings.Mid$(textToParse, firstDelimiterIndex, secondDelimiterIndex - firstDelimiterIndex)
End Function
Private Function soapEnvelope(ByVal countryCode As String, ByVal vatNumber As String) As String
' Give this function a country code and VAT Number.
' It will return an envelope that can be sent in the request's body
Dim outputEnvelope As String
outputEnvelope = "<s11:Envelope xmlns:s11='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>" & _
"<s11:Body>" & _
"<tns1:checkVat xmlns:tns1='urn:ec.europa.eu:taxud:vies:services:checkVat:types'>" & _
"<tns1:countryCode>" & countryCode & "</tns1:countryCode>" & _
"<tns1:vatNumber>" & vatNumber & "</tns1:vatNumber>" & _
"</tns1:checkVat>" & _
"</s11:Body>" & _
"</s11:Envelope>"
soapEnvelope = outputEnvelope
End Function
Some things to note:
- I took the SOAP envelope from one of the existing PHP implementations
on GitHub (I've since closed that particular browser tab, otherwise
would include the link in my answer). - Instead of parsing server's
response as an XML document, I just parse it as a string (not good,
but the returned resource is pretty small). - Code assumes
everything will be successful. If the request times out or an
error message is returned, the code will likely throw an error (if it does not know how to handle it) - From the technical resources/documentation available on the EC's own website
(e.g. WSDL and FAQ), it seems that there is no central
database (your request goes to their server, then their server
requests the information from the relevant country/member state's
database). - The usual quota/usage stipulations (governing the consumption of
any service/API) are in place. If they receive too many requests from
a given IP within a short space of time or too many requests which
yield invalid EU VAT numbers, they may suspect misuse of their service and blacklist
your IP.

Some things to note:
- I took the SOAP envelope from one of the existing PHP implementations
on GitHub (I've since closed that particular browser tab, otherwise
would include the link in my answer). - Instead of parsing server's
response as an XML document, I just parse it as a string (not good,
but the returned resource is pretty small). - Code assumes
everything will be successful. If the request times out or an
error message is returned, the code will likely throw an error (if it does not know how to handle it) - From the technical resources/documentation available on the EC's own website
(e.g. WSDL and FAQ), it seems that there is no central
database (your request goes to their server, then their server
requests the information from the relevant country/member state's
database). - The usual quota/usage stipulations (governing the consumption of
any service/API) are in place. If they receive too many requests from
a given IP within a short space of time or too many requests which
yield invalid EU VAT numbers, they may suspect misuse of their service and blacklist
your IP.

I get No, invalid VAT number for cross border transactions within the EU with those values. What do you get if you manually input into system?
– QHarr
Nov 12 at 9:32
@Pᴇʜ Yeah but thats in pHp right?
– Christina
Nov 12 at 11:24
@Christina Doh, I'm sorry my bad. I need a coffee. (Removed it)
– Pᴇʜ
Nov 12 at 11:26
@Pᴇʜ ahaha I also need coffee dealing with this problem. I have fixed the formatting, but the vatid.eu/check url needs to be replaced by ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/?locale=be. Do you know how in what the other parameters needs to be adjusted in order to get the right data into the cells? Eternally grateful
– Christina
Nov 12 at 12:33
@QHarr I dont get any values at all. What kind of steps do you perform in excel? Thank you very much
