Action Required - Your disbursements are at risk of being temporarily held
Hello All ,
Hope you all fine and doing well . I got this email as I am not UK resident what will be the next step should I have to pay the VAT only the way to get activate ?
Hello,
The disbursements of part or all your Amazon sales proceeds are at risk of being temporarily withheld in all stores you operate worldwide (excluding Amazon.in), because we need to confirm whether you are established in the UK for Value Added Tax (VAT) purposes. Additionally, your Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) inventory may be temporarily blocked from removal, unless the funds withheld exceed your estimated liability.
Why did this happen?
We must collect and remit VAT from non-UK established Selling Partners for the sales of goods delivered to customers in the UK. Based on a review of your account, we determined that you may not be UK established for VAT purposes. This may have resulted in inaccurate tax treatment on your sales under the VAT on eCommerce legislation (effective 1 January 2021 in UK). We leveraged a combination of automated means and expert human review to identify this issue and make this decision.

As you do FBA you shouldve been VAT registered as soon as you sent stock into Amazon so you'll need to pay everything you owe I would imagine
