The VAT number is one of the most important parts of every transaction. It serves to specify the tax treatment of certain transactions and to enable the tax authorities to monitor the application of the new regulation. This pretty much explains why a company's and customer's VAT number must be included on invoices for tax-exempt supplies and other goods and services within the European Union. The sales tax identification number is therefore a part of the control procedure that replaced the previous border controls (EC sales list).
