This step recognizes new and old VAT ID (DI) values. The step also cleans incorrect characters within the VAT ID, verifies checksum (if possible) and VAT ID against a dictionary file containing registered tax offices. Using the preserveInputValue property, the final output value can be selected (original or cleansed).

Note: VAT ID = DI.
