Value Added Tax Identification Number (VATIN) generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Value Added Tax Identification Number (VATIN) generator creates valid, simulated VAT identification numbers in accordance with country-specific formats. VATINs are used to uniquely identify businesses or entities that are registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) within a country. The generator produces realistic VATINs, which include the country code followed by a specific numeric or alphanumeric identifier based on local regulations.

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

• The column name is ‘VAT’, regardless of the table name.
• The column name contains ‘vat’ or ‘id’, preceded or followed by any or no characters, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.
