Use European Tax Validation with a Firm Record

When Deltek is configured to use the vatlayer API validation service, you can ensure that valid tax registration numbers are entered for firm in the European Union. These options enable the Deltek API to validate the firm's tax registration number with the Belgian VAT Desk.

This configuration process works directly with the Tax Registration Fields in the Firms hub for vendor firms. When you specify the Vatlayer Registration information, each address of the firm record that is in an EU country will have an option to validate the tax registration number associated to that address.

To use European Tax Validation:

1. In the Navigation pane, go to the Utilities section and select Integrations & Imports.
2. Select the VAT Registration tab.
3. Enter the VAT API KEY. This is the access key that is required to validate the firms tax registration numbers with the European Union Value Added Tax system. This key is saved in the system and used to make validation calls on behalf of the user.

   This enables the Tax Registration Number option on an address in the Firms hub.

4. Select the Secure VAT Registration checkbox for the validation call to occur over a secure connection using https. When selected, Deltek will make a test call to determine if the subscription level allows secure calls. If on a free subscription plan, you cannot make secure calls and the test call to vatlayer will return an "https_access_restricted" error. If the test call results in this error, the system will automatically uncheck the checkbox and display a message. If you are on a paid subscription plan have the option of making calls over https.
