Our Amazon UK account showed up as deactivated for lack of a UK VAT number. We are located in Europe and do not have any products in the UK warehouses, no listings in general, no orders. Legally we are not required to have a UK VAT number, as we use OSS for distance sales.

In our FBA settings the "Enable inventory storage" is stated UK and the settings are in grey colour - we are not able to change it, as it was stated long time ago. As the account is deactivated, we cannot change the selling plan from individual to proffesional and experiencing many other issues (like cannot use "Build international listings", use more reports.

Many times we contacted the Account Health specialists via call - their solution is the same - contact VAT UK team via email: vat-number-appeals@amazon.com . However, we wrote several emails to them - no response for weeks.

Does anyone have any idea how to proceed, without having to register VAT in UK?

"If my Amazon account gets deactivated due to VAT, will it be reactivated once my company receives VAT approval and I add the VAT number?"

Hello friends, I live in Canada and have a seller account in CANADA and UK FBA. 2 years ago I registered for a UK account and after 2-3 months I got notifications to provide the VAT number. However as I did not register my business because of not having too many sales, I cannot apply for a VAT number because they ask for a business license.

So, for the last 22 months, I have been paying them around $50/month for my FBA storage. Because of not having a VAT number, I can't return my inventory, and can't deactivate my account.

the plan is already individual. But charges are for FBA Storage. And because I don't have a VAT number neither can I deactivate my account nor destroy/return my FBA storage products.

Do you guys have any solution to stop charges or deactivate my UK account except by providing a VAT number?

Please help me

Thank you
