When should Amazon sellers register for VAT?

Your business has unique characteristics, so the need to register for VAT depends on your individual situation. Here are the three most common triggers:

1
Holding Stock in the EU — Pan-EU FBA means you store inventory in Amazon fulfillment centers across Europe. VAT registration is mandatory in each storage country.
2
Based in the EU — If you are based in an EU member state, local VAT registration applies from the start of trading.
3
Importing Goods into the EU — You must register for VAT and will also need an EORI number to import goods.

Amazon VAT FAQs

Common questions answered

Do I need a VAT number to sell on Amazon?

Having a VAT number is not mandatory to start selling, but you may need one if your sales exceed a turnover threshold or you store inventory in the UK or EU. Amazon may also request a VAT number for regulatory compliance.

Is VAT charged on Amazon FBA fees?

Yes, VAT is charged on Amazon FBA fees at the applicable rate. If you are VAT registered, you can reclaim this as input VAT on your return. Amazon may also apply the reverse charge mechanism depending on your location.

Can I use one EU VAT number for multiple Amazon marketplaces?

There is no universal EU VAT number. You need to register in each country where you have VAT obligations — participating in Pan-EU FBA could mean up to 8 or 9 separate registrations.

What are the consequences of late VAT registration with Pan-EU FBA?

Consequences vary by jurisdiction and may include penalties, interest charges, and denial of VAT refunds. Some countries may reduce or waive penalties if you make a voluntary disclosure.
