# Party A VAT ID country

Source: https://developer.avalara.com/vat-erp/certification-requirements/party-a-vat-id-country/

**Element type:** Suggested for Triangulation

**Endpoints/models used:** [TransactionParameterModel](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/TransactionParameterModel/), [TransactionLineParameterModel](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/models/TransactionLineParameterModel/)

The `PartyAVATIDCountry` parameter is used in triangulation transactions to verify that Party A has provided a VAT ID for the country where the goods originated. Users must specify this field for "Sale Party B to Party C" use cases when `IsTriangulation` isn't passed. When configuring the `PartyAVATIDCountry`, specify the country's 2-digit country ISO code.

If you don't include this field in your integration, then users can specify `"IsTriangulation": true`, and AvaTax will recognize that this is a triangulation transaction.
