EU VAT Registration
Hi
Really hope that someone can help.
I currently sell in all 5 marketplaces and am based in the UK.
I am not at the current UK VAT threshold, so therefore has not registered for VAT.
However with now receiving notifications that I need to upload a EU VAT Number for France, I am totally confused.
Have read through all the information provided by Amazon and according to the questionnaire section, I do not need to register in France either as I do not meet their threshold either.
I have contacted Amazon and honestly they are not help.
Sorry for the long message, but from what I can tell I do not need to register for UK or EU, please can someone give me some advice.
Thanks in advance

Do you ship all your goods via FBA or FBM from within the UK?
If so and your goods are not stored in one of the other countries then you do not need to register for VAT.

The question for you really is where do you store stock?
If you are registered in PAN-EU FBA, storing stock in other countries then you are required to be registered for VAT all over.
If everything ships from the UK only and you are using FBA EFN then you do not until you hit the respective country selling threshold.
You need to be extremely careful to ensure that no customer returns get stored in an overseas country though.
