I'm trying to set VAT code for my shop in Store>Configuration and then General>General>Store Information.
I've set country, region, city, zip, street and, of course, VAT number (without country code) all correctly but when I click on "Validate VAT Number" it gives me "Error during VAT Number verification." and I can't work out why it says so.
Just to add to webninjas's answer (as it worked for me, I was also missing SOAP), specifically run:
apt install php 7.0-soap
service apache2 restart
In my case the problem was a missing PHP SOAP extension on server. After installing that the VAT validation started working.
