Question regarding VAT
Hi
I have 2 questions regarding VAT. We are new to Amazon and have sold a fair amount of products since our launch a week or so ago.
1. Do i need to register for VAT in account settings?
2. I have had an order come through from a business customer asking for an invoice to be uploaded, but i don't know where i'd find it?
Many thanks

You're already registered for VAT and have your VAT number on Amazon. Not sure what you mean within account settings - are you talking about VAT calculation settings?
As for the invoice request, you are required to generate an invoice for every business buyer whether they request one or not. For non-business buyers you only have to do it if they ask.

It's something that trips everyone up the first time :)
There is a setting (perhaps search automatic invoices) that once you turn it on Amazon automatically generates invoices for you so you can forget about it after that. However it isn't retrospective so you'll still have to upload one for the customer who has asked. Just reference the Amazon order number.
Not sure why they're asking, can any business claim the VAT back on pet products? Maybe its for the guard dogs.

you have to create your own VAT invoice to upload if you are vat regd, if not you upload an invoice without VAT
for the future in VAT settings you can sign up to get amazon to create an invoice for you
