Read onlyHello,
I submitted all required documents for UK establishment on October 13, 2024, including detailed information about our UK director. Since then, I have been awaiting a response for nearly three weeks. This extended delay is placing considerable strain on our small UK-based business, affecting our cash flow and daily operations..@JiAlex_Amazon hi JiAlex, Could you please provide an update on the status of our application? Any assistance in expediting this process would be greatly appreciated.
This is what I got from Amazon
" Hello,
Thank you for your submission regarding the change of establishment status in the UK for Value Added Tax (VAT) purposes.Based on the information that you provided, we will re-assess any different establishment status from 1 January 2021 (when the VAT eCommerce legislation became effective in the UK), to date. As a result of this assessment, we might also need to revise any historical VAT liability owed to Amazon and the VAT required to be collected and remitted to the authorities on your behalf.We will complete our review and inform you about next steps by email. We cannot provide an exact deadline, but our team is working hard to complete this review as soon as possible. "
A number of sellers with a similar setup to you have had Amazon decide they are not established in the UK for VAT purposes, so you may have to wait a little longer while they investigate.
