Spanish VAT registration - pan European FBA
Hello
Interested to know what type of VAT registration other UK sellers who are on the pan European programme have in Spain. Mine currently says local and is causing me some VAT issues when transferring goods to amazon Spain FCs from other amazon FCs.
You can find out by clicking Settings > Tax settings. Next to Spain in the scope column mine says “Local”.
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
You need an intracommunity VAT number - i.e. one which will be visible in VIES (https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/). This should have been done when applying for the VAT number in Spain (for example box 582 + box 584 of form 036).
Most EU countries give you an intracommunity VAT number automatically, but other countries only give you a locally scoped VAT number by default - this includes Spain and Italy - and you need to apply further to have the number registered so you can do IC transactions.
