Code

function _vat_number_components($vat_number) {

  // Some countries like DK use spaces in the formatting.
  // Maybe someone does that too for readability or uses dots.
  // We remove all dots, spaces and dashes because they are not
  // important for the validation operations and we do NOT regex spaces.
