"""VAT (United Kingdom (and Isle of Man) VAT registration number).
The VAT number can either be a 9-digit standard number, a 12-digit standard
number followed by a 3-digit branch identifier, a 5-digit number for
government departments (first two digits are GD) or a 5-digit number for
health authorities (first two digits are HA). The 9-digit variants use a
weighted checksum.
