VAT number related enquiries

Please note that the European Commission and other EU institutions, such as the Research Executive Agency, do not have an economic activity and are therefore not taxable under Article 9 of the VAT Directive (2006/112/EC). Consequently, they do not have a VAT or tax number. For further questions, please contact the EUROPE DIRECT Contact Centre.
