VAT Bundle

This bundle allows you to use ibericode/vat in your Symfony projects.

• Fetch VAT rates for any European member state from ibericode/vat-rates
• Validate VAT numbers (by format and existence)
• Validate ISO-3316 alpha-2 country codes
• Determine whether a country is part of the EU
• Geo-locate IP addresses

The official VIES VAT number validation SOAP API is used for validating VAT numbers.

Installation

First, install the bundle using Composer.

composer require ibericode/vat-bundle

Then, load the bundle by adding it to your config/bundles.php file.

Ibericode\Vat\Bundle\VatBundle::class => ['all' => true]

Usage

Check out ibericode/vat for direct usage examples. This bundle adds service configuration & a validation constraint for VAT numbers.

Dependency injection

With this bundle enabled, you can use dependency injection to retrieve a class instance for the Countries, Validator, Rates or Geolocator classes.

use Ibericode\Vat\Countries;
use Ibericode\Vat\Validator;
use Ibericode\Vat\Rates;
use Ibericode\Vat\Geolocator;

class MyController 
{
    /**
     * Type-hint the class on your service constructors to retrieve a class instance
     */
    public function __construct(
        Rates $rates, 
        Validator $validator,
        Countries $countries, 
        Geolocator $geolocator
        )
    {
        $rates->getRateForCountry('NL'); // 21.00
        $validator->validateVatNumber('NL123456789B01'); // false
        $countries->isCountryCodeInEU('US') // false
        $geolocator->locateIpAddress('8.8.8.8'); // US
    }
}

Validation

To validate a VAT number using Symfony's Validation component, you can use the VatNumber constraint.

use Ibericode\Vat\Bundle\Validator\Constraints\VatNumber;

class Customer 
{
    /**
    * @VatNumber() 
    */
    public $vatNumber;
}
