Defining VAT and intrastate country codes

The VAT country code is a two-character code assigned to each European member country. The intrastate code is a country code that is used on intrastate reports. These reports list the transactions between an organization and customers from EU member countries.

Note: Both the VAT country code and the intrastate code must be defined in iMIS for EU member countries.
