Add support for checking EU VAT numbers with VIES #859

Closed mlocati closed 4 months ago

mlocati commented 4 months ago

When we ask for VAT numbers, we check that they are syntactically correct (for example, in Italy we use 11 digits).

But it may not be enough: even if a VAT number is syntactically correct, it may be wrong.

What about checking for actual validity of VAT numbers for European countries? We can use the great VIES service 😉

I'm going to refactor the VIES library a bit.
