      Description

      Jan 1, 2021 the EU VIES VAT system no longer validates UK VAT numbers. Instead this is handled by another system. See https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-vat-number

      An API key appears to be required, which can be created at https://developer.service.hmrc.gov.uk/api-documentation

      Under "Basic Tax" settings, we should allow the validation service to be selected under "Enable EU VAT Validation" so that either of these systems can be selected. If the UK VAT system is selected, then we must prompt for the API credentials.

      Enable VAT Validation

      [] EU VIES VAT Validation
      [x] UK HMRC VAT Validation

      Client ID
      Client Secret

      NOTE! Apparently this no longer requires Client ID and Client Secret, the API is open and no longer requires authentication.
