What is VIES?
Short answer
The EU's VAT Information Exchange System. A VIES registration lets the company sell to VAT-registered businesses in other member states without charging Cyprus VAT, with a monthly statement of those sales.
The registration comes before the first business-to-business sale into another member state.
