What is VAT Validation for Publishers?

To improve the accuracy of our publisher payment runs, Webgains have VAT validation in place for our publisher accounts liable to VAT.

If you are a publisher within the UK/EU who is liable to VAT, you will need to ensure the VAT number, Registered Business Name and Address are consistent with what is registered by the tax office in your country.

The Registered Business Name is the name that's going to appear on the self-billing invoices in the future. If you are not a business, please enter your full name in this field.

When you select Save Changes, if there’s a mismatch between the entered data and the tax office’s info you will see a message showing how the Registered Business name should appear. You’ll need to correct the info entered to match this in order to save the changes.

Completing this information will help ensure timely and accurate payments, as we will start to validate that your business name and address match the one from the tax office registration.
