Tax ID Validator

Overview

Tax ID Validator is a robust tool designed for validating various tax identification numbers (TINs), such as GSTIN in India, UEN in Singapore, etc. The tool uses regular expressions and specific validation logic for each type of TIN, ensuring that the input adheres to the expected format and structural rules of the respective issuing authority.

Features

• Supports multiple countries and TIN types.
• Uses precise regular expressions for format validation.
• Implements checksum logic for countries that incorporate checksum characters in their TINs.
• Easy to integrate and use in various JavaScript environments.

Requirements

• Node.js (v14 or newer recommended)

Installation

You can install the package via npm:

npm install corporate-taxid-checker-js

Usage

The tool can be used by importing the main validator function and then calling it with the appropriate parameters.

Here's a basic example:

const { validateTaxId } = require('corporate-taxid-checker-js');

const taxId = '1234567890';
const countryCode = 'IN'; // Use the appropriate country code

const result = validateTaxId(taxId, countryCode);
console.log(result); // logs true if valid, false if invalid

Validation Levels

For enhanced accuracy and reliability, our tool offers three levels of TIN validation for several countries:

1. Regex Check: This initial check ensures the TIN adheres to the expected format using precise regular expressions.
2. Checksum Validation: Based on the guidelines from the OECD, this check verifies the integrity of the TIN using its checksum.
3. Authority Lookup (Available for EU countries and Australia): This advanced check confirms the validity of the TIN by directly querying the respective country's tax authority website.
