Test VAT Number Generator — Checksum-Valid Dummy VATs

Generate nationally checksum-valid dummy VAT numbers for France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, and Poland for invoice fields, checkout tax IDs, and validator fixtures. Not a VIES lookup; not a real registration.

Test VAT numbers — developer notes
Checksum-valid dummy VATs for FR, DE, ES, IT, NL, GB, BE, AT, PT, and PL. National algorithms only — not VIES, Sirene, or HMRC lookup.

How generation works

Pick a quantity (1–100), country, format, checksum validity, and order. Changing an option refreshes the list immediately. Copy all or download JSON, CSV, SQL, or TXT.

Options

Quantity (1–100)
How many rows to emit for seed jobs.
Country
France, Germany, Spain (company CIF), Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria, Portugal (company NIF starting with 5), Poland, or Mixed per row. Each country uses its public national checksum — no registry lookup.
Format
Compact for API/DB columns, grouped for invoices, national for forms that already show a country selector.
Checksum validity
Valid passes the national check. Invalid corrupts the check on purpose for negative-path validator QA.
Order
Random with replacement, unique full VAT strings in the batch, or deterministic sequence.

Test VAT FAQ

Checksums, fixtures, and what this tool is not

Does this check VIES or HMRC?

No. It only applies each country's public checksum rules to random bodies. It never calls VIES, Sirene, AEAT, HMRC, or API Entreprise.

Can a generated VAT match a real company?

Yes, by coincidence. Checksum-valid means structurally valid, not guaranteed unregistered. Use only for fixtures and QA.

Why an invalid checksum toggle?

To confirm your app rejects bad tax IDs, not only accepts good ones — same idea as test IBAN or card generators.

I searched for a fake VAT generator. Is this it?

If you need checksum-valid dummy VAT strings for development and fixtures, yes. If you need live registration lookup, this tool will not do that.
