Is anyone else waiting for their vat product ads invoice for January
It is now the 17th January and we still have not received our product ads invoice for January.
Is anyone else still waiting for theirs?
Getting vat invoices from Amazon seems to be taken forever!

I think they have stopped producing a single consolidated monthly VAT invoice for advertising. You can see your invoices in the Product Ads section of Seller Central, but they are no longer in the Tax Document library. Instead of a single monthly advertising invoice, I've had to download about 3 to 5 invoices per marketplace for January. Just another painful change that makes life more difficult for sellers.

Yes it looks like they are no longer putting it in the docs library which to be honest is a real pain for me as I prefer to compile my VAT based on the actual invoices.
I don't rely on the reports as they are hard for me to substantiate and I like to do my own VAT reports at the end of each quarter.
I download copies of each of the vatable bills and create them as reclaims in my VAT on quickbooks.
It was also quite easy to ensure that my books are up to date.
I have a similar way of doing this for other marketplaces.
I don't know why they have missed it off, at first I thought this was an error.
Why do Amazon just seem to make these changes when they are not clear why sellers are using it. They must have understood there was a need for this when building it and adding it to the system. Not everyone works the same way and given the recent changes with VAT on selling fees, you would have thought this to be even more important.
