Automated Tax Registration Number Validation for Suppliers feature (25D)

Hi!

We have enabled the new Automated Tax Registration Number Validation for Suppliers feature (25D).
The current validation logic appears to depend on the Tax Regime setup in the supplier’s tax profile.

However, for our customer use case, we would prefer that the validation is triggered based solely on the supplier’s country (or address country), without relying on the tax regime setup.

Could someone please confirm:

*Whether the validation service (EU VAT check via VIES) can be activated purely based on the supplier’s country,

*Or if the Tax Regime association is a mandatory condition for the validation to trigger?
