VIES or VAT Information Exchange System is run by EU
VAT Validation Tool
What is VIES?

VIES is short for VAT Information Exchange System. The VIES system was set up to allow for the flow of the VAT data held across the internal frontiers in EU which enables companies to obtain confirmation of the VAT identification numbers of their customers. 

The unit responsible for the control of intra-Community trade in each Member State , the Central Liaison Office (CLO), has a direct access through VIES to the VAT registration database of the other Member States.

Our service queries the EU system directly. VIES however is not a standalone database but rather a proxy that relays information from national systems in EU member countries.

For further information about the VIES system have a look here. Still voting on whichs system to use? If so then you might want to read this article that sums up some of the solutions for validating EU VAT Identification numbers: Is this EU VAT number valid?
