Vat invocies for vat on all fees for the month of august
Where can I download VAT invoices from Amazon that show the VAT I paid on all fees for the month of August? They have uploaded some in my tax document library, but not all of them, and I see absolutely no guides from Amazon on where to get a complete, comprehensive breakdown of all VAT paid on fees. This includes VAT on selling fees, referral fees, FBA fees, storage fees, selling plan fees, removal fees, and UPS partnered carrier fees – absolutely everything! The month ended 12 days ago, and I need to file my VAT return. I think it is shambolic how they are not guiding sellers on where to get all these documents! @Amazon, sort it out. I need help!

Have the same issue.
August 2024 Merchant VAT Invoice (Selling on Amazon Fees) - OK. One line with 20% VAT that corresponds to Aug 2024 Custom Summary Report.
Fulfilment by Amazon Tax Invoice (Fulfilment by Amazon Fees) - one line with no VAT for one unit sold despite we've sold many units in Aug 2024. Seems invoice is not correct as it does not corresponds to Aug 2024 Custom Summary Report. Does VAT is applicable to Fulfilment by Amazon Fees?
Where's the rest and what to do?

Apologies for my frustration earlier; I'm feeling the pressure with my upcoming VAT return.

I think amazoin have really ballsed it up this month and they are going to owe compensation to sellers. These invoices afre extremely wrong and they dont even seem to provide them for vat on storage fees, removal orders fee, ups partnered carrier fees!!!!

I have received invoices addressed to someone else!

I think the invoices with 0% VAT are for orders that were placed by customers before 1st August, but then didn't get dispatched until 1st August or onwards. Then those orders that were placed from 1st August onwards will incur the VAT.
Then if you have any Credit Notes with 0% VAT as well, they will be for orders from before 1st August.
That's how it makes sense to me at least.
But like you, we have not had our Fulfillment by Amazon fees invoice for August yet with the VAT added. It's the last invoice we need to be able to submit our VAT return to HMRC - not that Amazon seems to care about that!

Some of ours don't make sense.
Best if everyone affected opens a case, hopefully this will draw attention to the problem.

I have multiple invoices now but they are all wrong. Either at 0% VAT or significantly too small.
What a shambles.
EDIT - Actually I am now really confused, I have 42 invoices relating to last month! Some have VAT and some don't. It seems totally random.

same here.
could the mods on here look into this as urgent.
amazon you need to look at this as you are charging the VAT but not invoicing it, which is wrong.

I am also in the same boat - no FBA vat invoices for August and the ones I have received for FBM fees are not making sense when compared to the account activity report 1st-31st August 2024
