Nr. no.

Explanation:
'Nr' stands for 'number' — in fact, in EN it is more usually found as no., nr. is more common as the German abbreviation for Nummer — but oof course with the same meaning!

vat nr. VAT registration number

Explanation:
no. is the translation for nr. -- that is quite clear. However in this context, it would be more appropriate to translate it as "VAT registration number," (ie not simply "VAT number".

By the way, "VAT" should always be capitalized.
