+There are two different levels of VAT number validation:
+
+ * By default, a simple off-line check is performed using the known validation
+   rules for the country, usually a simple check digit. This is quick and 
+   always available, but allows numbers that are perhaps not truly allocated,
+   or not valid anymore.
+ * When the "VAT VIES Check" option is enabled (in the configuration of the user's
+   Company), VAT numbers will be instead submitted to the online EU VIES
+   database, which will truly verify that the number is valid and currently
+   allocated to a EU company. This is a little bit slower than the simple
+   off-line check, requires an Internet connection, and may not be available
+   all the time. If the service is not available or does not support the
+   requested country (e.g. for non-EU countries), a simple check will be performed
+   instead.
+
 Supported countries currently include EU countries, and a few non-EU countries
 such as Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Norway or Russia. For unsupported countries,
 only the country code will be validated.
