vatman

vatman is a library for checking VAT numbers against the Europa webservice. This is the ONLY way to check if a VAT number is genuine and in use.

vat_number = Vatman::Check.new('GB', 802925148)

vat_number.valid? => true vat_number.name => 'MONOCHROME LIMITED' vat_number.address => 'SUITE K\nTHE PAVILLIONS\n1 WESTERN ROAD\nEPSOM\nSURREY\nKT17 1JG'

gem install vatman

and then

require 'vatman'

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
