Automatic checking of VAT status

Programming libraries (APIs)

The service of checking the VAT status of an entity enables taxpayers to verify whether their contractor is an active, exempt or unregistered VAT taxpayer. The service is addressed primarily to taxpayers using the reverse charge mechanism in relation to goods listed in Annex 11 to the VAT Act.

Taxpayers can check whether their contractors are active VAT payers. Entering the tax identification number NIP or the REGON or KRS number in the API will allow you to check the taxpayer's status in the VAT register. The shared service will ask directly IT system of the Ministry of Finance and will return one of three possible messages:

  • The entity with the given tax identification number NIP is not registered as a VAT payer
  • The entity with the given tax identification number NIP is registered as an active VAT payer
  • The entity with the given tax identification number NIP is registered as a VAT-exempt taxpayer

The nip24 system API acts as a proxy (intermediary), i.e. each generated query is directly sent to the Tax Portal, and the response received from the Tax Portal is also there directly transferred to the user. To ensure the full safety and comfort of our clients, all communication with the Ministry of Finance system is saved in dedicated files, which, in the event of an inspection, can be made available to confirm that the taxpayer has fulfilled the obligation to check the contractor.

The method of implementing and using the function implemented in the provided libraries is described in detail on the website documentation.
