Any german speakers? Need to get a comapnies VAT number

[fridaypassion]

We supplied some parts to a German company a while back and I'm told that the VAT number they have us is wrong.

Is there any way of searching for the VAT number if the company doesnt have a website? Its a garage. No english speakers there today!!

You need to look for a "USt-IdNr.", or "Umsatzsteuer-Identifikationsnummer". It might begin with DE-. Try an online search, even if the company doesn't have a website you might be able to find something.

ETA: This is handy:

Easiest way is to go on their website and click on Impressum, you will find their Ust-ID-Nr. there, starting with DE.
