Tax Number Definition (tctax4105m000)

Use this session to define the length and the format of tax numbers in a specific country.

If you validate tax numbers in the Verify Tax Numbers (tctax4205m000) session, LN uses the tax number definition to check whether the tax number has the required format and length.

Note

Defining a tax number layout is only required if - for the online check - no webservice is specified in the Tax Number Webservice URI field of the Tax Parameters (tctax0100m000) session.

Tax number format

To define the tax number format, you can use these characters:

  • Numeric characters 1 - 9 to represent numbers
  • Upper case alphabetic characters A - Z to represent letters
  • \ to indicate that the character in this position of the tax number must be exactly the character that follows the \.

Each character of the definition defines the type of character in its position in the tax number. \ plus the character that follows \ together represent a single position.
