  • Linotype website account VAT reg number problem

    Posted by John Dorling on November 11, 2009 at 12:11 pm

    Hi

    I am trying to register with Linotype to buy a font, but I keep getting this message:

    Notice: Unfortunately we could not fully validate your given VAT code.

    To avoid german VAT you have to correct the following data exactly as it was announced to your local tax office:

    •company name

    Anyone else had this problem and know what I’m doing wrong?

    I’m putting in my company name exactly as it is registered with companies house.

    Thanks

    John

    Try entering your vat number instead. It’s maybe an error on the site asking for your company name instead of your vat number?

    It asks for both my comp name and VAT number. I think I’ll ring them up!

    Thanks anyway

    Are you putting GB in front of the number?
