For merchants who sell to businesses, Taxamo's solution offers realtime B2B validation. This can be important because in many countries B2B sales have a different tax treatment than B2C sales.

Every country that differentiates B2B and B2C sales has a different system or method for validating B2B transactions.
Taxamo's solution provides a way to validate all of them via a single API, which considerably simplifies your ability to manage B2B transactions across all countries.
We have integrated with a number of services operated by tax authorities in various regions.

Note, some regions also require a self-declaration message to be displayed so that the customer must confirm that they are a business for VAT purposes.
