What's New?

We're replaced the spreadsheet with a new website VAT lookup

The problem with an open access spreadsheet was that people were either deliberately or accidently deleting things so the accuracy has become questionable.

The new website is much better. It's automated and automatically correlated against other sources. As the database grows it will also provide information on VAT history eg name changes, address changes etc which can be useful for forensic accounting.

The link to the speadsheet is available if you really want to use it...

If you like the new website, please like it on social media etc. Thanks

Download a public list of VAT numbers for UK companies

Please help compile an open source database of VAT numbers for UK companies.

You can download the database I have compiled so far of UK VAT numbers. It's only 30 entries so far but that's bigger than I've managed to find on the web so far as a single dataset!

The spreadsheet is editable so you can add your own entries to this database so it grows through a collaborative effort.

Why bother? VAT numbers are useful indicator about the legitamcy and scale of a business. It's also a useful unique key which can be used to join other datasets. HMRC have yet to release the VAT datasets into the public domains and it doesnt look like it will happen soon, so in the meantime please help compile one.
