According to the official references mentioned in #107, Israeli companies can use two types of Tax Identification Numbers / VAT codes:
stdnum.il.hpstdnum.il.idnrFor example, the TIN rules that were provided to OECD by the Israeli tax administration state:
Based on these references, it seems that the validation of a generic VAT number for Israel via
stdnum.il.vatshould allow both formats.Further, considering that
stdnum.il.idnris a simple luhn validation that will also work for the numbers thatstdnum.il.hpcurrently verifies, this can be done by simply changin the default alias to point to it instead. The only difference between the two algorithms is that thestdnum.il.hpone verifies that the first digit is 5.
