This can be enabled via admin panel:

Stores > Configuration > Customer Configuration > Name and Address Options > Show Tax/VAT Number

The possible options are:

No
Optional
Required

On checkout

Now, other possibilities are :

1 If you navigate to:

Stores > Configuration > Customers > Customer Configuration > (Change Scope to correct website/store view) > Create New Account Options > Show VAT Number on Storefront

Change dropdown to Yes.

You'll then have to set up your tax classes/tax rules/customer groups and then in the above section you can assign the correct values to the groups.

2 From Database

UPDATE `eav_attribute` SET `is_required` = '1' WHERE `eav_attribute`.`attribute_id` = 36;

Magento – Exclude countries from cross border trade

You can modify the function Mage_Tax_Helper_Data::isCrossBorderTradeEnabled($store = null) (copy class to local code pool)

add this code before the return statement to disable Cross Border Trade for countries without VAT.

$address = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote()->getShippingAddress();

if ($address->getTaxAmount() == 0) {

      return false;
}

Instead you can also compare the country_id against certain countries. (Notice: country_id is only available when the customer/guest has entered an address)

Magento 2 – Require VAT for Billing Address

I fixed this by add an observer and change the jsLayout for for the form.

public function afterProcess(\Magento\Checkout\Block\Checkout\LayoutProcessor $subject, array $jsLayout)
{
    $elements = $jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['billing-step']['children']
    ['payment']['children']['payments-list']['children'];

    if (isset($elements)) {
        foreach ($elements as $key => $value) {
            if (isset($value['children']['form-fields']['children'])) {
                $jsLayout['components']['checkout']['children']['steps']['children']['billing-step']['children']
                ['payment']['children']['payments-list']['children'][$key]['children']['form-fields']['children']['vat_id']['validation']['required-entry'] = true;
            }
        }
    }
    return $jsLayout;
}
