Automated Invoicing email - SPAM or NOT

Hi I was wondering if anyone else has received an email in regards to Automated Invoicing. I am new to selling on Amazon and was wondering if this email is SPAM or not. It look legit and the email address it says its from looks ok "amazon-services-europe@amazon.com".

I have received so many fake emails in from people claiming to be from Amazon I am a bit weary of opening it.

The email details are below, thanks in advance for any help.

"Dear Seller,

This looks like a genuine e-mail.

Also, it is not promoting any paid, outside Amazon service.

It’s real. Prepare to recieve many more like it either encouraging you, or mildy threatening you into joining the VAT calculation service.
