Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-vatno-validator.readthedocs.org.

Quickstart

Install vatno-validator:

pip install django-vatno-validator

Then use it in a project:

from django.db import models
from vatno_validator.validators import VATNoValidator

class MyModel(models.Model):
    vat_no = models.CharField(validators=[VATNoValidator(allowed_countries=[
        'DE',
        'AT',
        'GB',
    ])])

Features

• Validates all 28 European member's VAT numbers according to http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faq.html#item_11
