vatidinfo

VAT ID Info for Greek Business

This class implements the latest version of Greek Tax Registry VAT ID information service. This service provides information for VAT IDs registered as business only (no information for private individuals) and you have to get some extra credentials first from this url.

Two features were added:

1. Abilty to check VAT Status (normal or exempt), useful for Article 39A
2. Abilty to check status in some specific date in the past (max 3 years)

Installation

Install the package using Composer:

composer require liagkos/vatidinfo

Usage

try {
    $client = new LiagkosTaxisvatidinfo('Username-Token', 'Password-Token');
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();  // Or whatever for SOAP error (NOT authentication error)
    die($e->getCode());     // Or whatever for SOAP error (NOT authentication error)
}

$params = [
    'method'    => 'query',
    'afmFor'    => '123456789',
    'afmFrom'   => '999999999',
    'lookDate'  => '2017-12-31',
    'type'      => 'array',
    'separator' => '-'
];

$reply = $client->exec($params);

  • info: Get some service related information
• afmFor: If method is query this is the VAT ID you must pass and the one you will get information for
• afmFrom: VAT ID of the final user using the service. If omitted, the service will think that the user is the user who has logged in to the service in the construcor (default). Otherwise, if a person or a company has authorised the user to make queries on their behalf (a company by itself is not allowed to make queries), then you must pass here the VAT ID of the authorisee.

Most fields are self explaining, but keep in mind that:

• success true means that the SOAP request was completed successfully, no moatter if the VAT ID was found, or the credentials were correct
• found true means that we actually got information for this VAT ID
• errors is false if no errors or array with keys code and msg if there was a service error
• dateShown, regDate and stopDate are DateTime objects
• regDate will be false if the VAT ID belongs to old (not active) business (reply was null)
• stopDate will be false if the VAT ID has not stopped its business or belongs to old business with no stop date available
• activities will be false if there are no data available (old stopped business)
• activities are sorted per type and then per code

That's all!
