How verification works

Every VAT statement on this site is backed by a check against VIES, the European Commission's VAT Information Exchange System, and carries two dates: when it was first validated and when it was last re-checked.

Step 1 · Company identity from the official register

The base data (company name, HE registration number, status, registered office, directors and secretary) comes from the official Cyprus Department of Registrar of Companies and is refreshed daily. Status values shown on company pages reflect the current register entry, not a frozen snapshot.

Step 2 · VAT verification against VIES

A company's VAT registration is confirmed by querying VIES, the same system EU businesses use for reverse-charge checks. A result is only marked "Verified" when VIES confirms the registration. When no registration is found, the page says so, together with the date of that check · a negative answer with a date is still an answer.

Step 3 · Timestamps on every result

Each verified record carries "First validated" and "Last re-checked" dates, shown on the company page. Records are re-validated on demand, so the shown dates always tell you exactly how fresh the confirmation is. If a registration lapses, the record is updated accordingly on the next check.

What is free and what is paid

Free on every company page: identity data, registry status, whether a verified VAT registration exists, and the verification dates. Paid: revealing the full VAT number itself (per-lookup credits). This keeps the verification layer open while funding the continuous re-checking.

Limits

VIES availability depends on the member-state systems behind it; during outages, re-checks are queued rather than guessed. Registry data follows the official register and can lag its source by up to a day. This service provides verification evidence, not tax advice.
