VAT Calculation Service

Amazon Business customers have said that they are more likely to make purchases if they receive a supporting VAT invoice. With the VAT calculation service, you will be able to show Amazon business customers the VAT-exclusive pricing and VAT invoices they wish to see. Providing your VAT information and other tax configuration preferences allows our service to calculate the applicable VAT, and to issue electronic VAT invoices, for all orders received through Amazon's European marketplaces. You will also be able to get detailed VAT reports, which should assist you with your reporting obligations.

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 and charge. Please note, any changes to your product tax code assignments can take up to 24 hours to take effect when displaying VAT exclusive price on the Product Detail Pages.
