Erased VAT payers
The erased VAT payer list is a separate dataset from the payer register. A company stays on it after its registration was cancelled, so you can distinguish never was a payer from was one and no longer is.
What the register contains
- Whether the entity was removed from the VAT payer register
- The VAT ID it was registered under
- Year of the breach and date of removal
Fields we return
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| is_erased | Whether the entity was removed from the VAT payer register. |
| entries | Array of removal records. |
| ic_dph | VAT ID the entity was registered under. |
| violation_year | Year the breach relates to. |
| erased_at | Date of removal from the register. |
What it is used for
When reviewing older invoices, the difference between never was a payer and was one and no longer is matters. The removal date tells you whether a VAT invoice was correct at the time it was issued.
When screening a new counterparty, removal from the register is a stronger signal than mere absence – it means a registration existed and ended.
Frequently asked questions
How does this relate to VAT deregistration reasons?
They are two separate datasets. This one says the registration ended. The deregistration reasons list additionally says it ended because of a breach of obligations.
Can a company be erased and registered again?
Yes. That is why we return an array of dated records rather than a single flag – a repeated removal is a different situation from a one-off.
