Automated invoicing without VAT number
I’m on a bit of a learning curve and have encountered another issue.
I’ve had a warning email telling me my Invoice Defect Rate Exceeds 5% and I probably needed to activate automated invoicing, this is something i had never even thought off and just assumed amazons fulfillment had it covered.
But anyway, I’m reading round trying to rectify it.
So what I do is, activate automated invoicing? however its asking for a vat number, but I dont have one yet because i’m still learning and not earning £85k per year. So apparently instead of a VAT invoice, amazon would automatically upload a receipt instead.
So if this the correct plan of action, how is it done without a VAT number as it wont let me activate without it.
Thanks

I think you’re looking at the part that’s for the VAT calculation service rather than the VAT exemption route.

You can’t set on automated invoicing if you’re not VAT registered. You have to create your own invoice for business customers. For the VAT, put zero. If you don’t use an accounting software, you can Google invoice templates in Words or Excel, fill in all the details, save as PDF and email customer.

Hello @Outpost_Sales
The Invoice Defect Rate is calculated based on orders placed during the seven-day period starting two weeks ago. So it is possible that you will not see a variation on the rate next day.
@Demel- thank you for your posts!
