Hello,

Their is a problem with the check of is_numeric vat numbers for The Netherlands, I do think that valid VAT numbers can contain letters in the number part.

e.g.: NL-000000000B00 (I changed all numeric into 0 and left the B alfa).

HTH,
Fossie

Hi,

Strange, I believed that the VAT number was composed by 2 characters and the rest by integers.

I have no time to spend to my module ATM, I will investigate that further.

Hello,

I found some information (Dutch) on this site: http://www.tbforum.com/thread/102357.html

BTW nummers hebben het formaat NLxxxxxxxxxBxx, en op de eerste 9 nummers kan je een soort elf-proef uitvoeren (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgerservicenummer)

Translated: VAT number format: NLxxxxxxxxxBxx and on the first 9 numbers you can add a simple 'elkproef', kind of test to see if it's a valid number: see the wiki page: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgerservicenummer

If you need more information I'll take a look at it.

HTH,
Fossie
