Summary

VAT Sense is an API for businesses and developers that need VAT number checks and related tax data in their own services. Its REST API validates VAT numbers against live records in the UK, EU, Australia, Norway, Switzerland, South Africa, and Brazil. It also provides EU VAT rates and VAT or GST rates from other countries, currency conversions to GBP and EUR using HMRC and European Central Bank rates, country data, and VAT-compliant invoicing. When a requester includes its own VAT number, a validation can return an official government consultation number for an audit trail. The API requires HTTPS and HTTP Basic Auth; VAT Sense says it does not allow client-side CORS requests because account keys could be exposed. Official libraries are available for Python, Node.js, PHP, Go, Ruby, C#/.NET, and Java, and the documentation links to Postman collections. General limits are 300 requests per minute, with UK VAT validation limited to 3 requests per second. There is a free plan, and the pricing note lists paid plans from $6.99/mo. Prices exclude VAT; plans can be paid in GBP, USD, or EUR.
