My question is based around the charging of Marketplace facilitator VAT for my company which is based in Northern Ireland.

I realise that I can stop international shipping of my product and turn this off but I would like to offer this service to my customers if possible as they are geographically closer to me than the rest of UK customers in some cases.

As Northern Ireland is part of the EU for VAT purposes, should amazon be charging this fee to Northern Ireland Based Sellers? The Windsor framework has been implicated specifically in Northern Ireland to ensure it is not treated the same as the rest of the UK so as i see it the marketplace facilitator VAT should not be applied.

I will contact Amazon Separately on this but keen to hear any thoughts or discussions anyone has had about this already.

We are looking to send a pallet of books to Amazon for FBA however we are being prompted to input a VAT number as we are based in UK, however we are not a VAT registered company and wanted to know if there is a way around this?

Or is it the case that all FBA seller have to be VAT registered

We are UK based company and selling in UK marketplace only. Amazon was creating and uploading the invoices by “automated receipt generation”, but suddenly one day this was stopped by Amazon and we had to manually create and upload the invoice for all the business orders. During this time, Amazon was still making invoice for orders from Ireland by Amazon Services Europe S.a.r.L.

Now we are VAT registered and have just activated the Amazon's VAT calculation service, but I am informed that we need to create and upload the invoice by ourselves for orders from Republic of Ireland and other EU countries. Any ideas how to avoid this ?
