Adding a VAT Number when I don't have one
Hi Everyone,
I have received an email asking me to add my VAT number.
I am not VAT registered as I do not reach the threshold. I am a UK business, my stock is in the UK in my storage unit not with Amazon. I do post abroad but I do not source stock from anywhere outside the UK.
I asked Seller Support on chat and they couldn’t answer and have referred it to the VAT department
Do I need to be concerned ?
Thank you

If this is the case then you do not need a UK Vat number until your sales reach £85/86k over a rolling 12 month period.
One point - you sell overseas - do you only do FBM not ever any FBA? If Amazon have any returns for you i n their overseas depots they count as having stock in an another country and would need a VAT number for that relevant country.
If you have never used FBA then this wont apply.

Another possibility is that the email was a scam - they are using all sorts of ruses to get sellers to click on links and input info.
If genuine it should be on your seller homepage .
