VAT Calculation Service

With the VAT Calculation Service for Amazon Business customers, you can:

• Display prices excluding VAT
• Have the Downloadable VAT Invoice badge displayed next to your name on the product detail and offer listings pages
• Provide them with invoices automatically

Amazon Business customers are more likely to make purchases if they receive an automatic invoice.

Once the VAT Calculation Service is activated, you will have access to detailed reports. These reports will support you in fulfilling your obligations regarding VAT returns.

Automated electronic VAT invoicing

We will automatically prepare electronic VAT invoices and make them available for customers to download on a self-service basis.

Real-time VAT calculation and display

We will calculate and display VAT-exclusive pricing on your offers, as well as calculate the applicable VAT associated with your orders at checkout. Note that any changes to your product tax code assignments may take up to 24 hours to take effect when displaying the VAT exclusive price on the product detail pages.
