It surely depends on the country but that would not be true in Denmark. We are required to collect business info and actually check that a VAT number is valid. (EU) outside of eu, it would be something like EIN that can also be verified. So there is a responsibility on the affliate side too. Again, probably depending on country.
For our EU sales, we have to enter that in our IRS system and it is simply not possible without a valid VAT number. They check that on the fly as you enter your data.
