## Ready-made example tasks

Pre-filled tasks published inside this actor. Each link opens the task on Apify with the input below already set.

### Monthly VAT Re-check: Only the Suppliers That Changed

Run this on a monthly schedule and it returns only the VAT numbers whose status or registered name has moved since the last run, so a clean month produces an empty dataset instead of the same list again. The first run stores a baseline. A supplier whose registration was cancelled shows up the month it happens, which is the point: nobody tells you when a counterparty deregisters.

### Validate a Supplier VAT Number List Against VIES

Check a whole supplier or customer list against the official VIES service in one run, and compare each registered name with the name you hold on file. Add your own EU VAT number and every row also carries a VIES consultation number, the reference a tax authority accepts as evidence you checked before zero-rating an invoice. A member state that does not answer reads as unavailable, not invalid.
