If needed, your tax authority can:
- Activate your VAT number for EU cross‑border trade
- Correct any discrepancies in your registration details
- Update the information transmitted to the VIES system
- Below, you can find a list containing the web-links to the homepages of the national tax administrations that you can contact for correction
Please note that only the national tax authority can update or correct VAT data in VIES; third parties cannot make changes on your behalf.
