Your VAT number has been rejected on Tax Setting - Europe

Hello,

I just had 4 emails saying my tax number has been rejected. However on UK it says verified and no performance notifications anywhere. It’s 100% correct. I can therefore presume these emails relate to the other european countries. But I don’t sell to Europe anymore. Is there a way of switching off the European countries so I can’t get in trouble for not having tax numbers there anymore? I am worried they’re going to shut down my UK account even though that’s all hunky dory. Thanks for any help

This is the email:
Dear Seller,
Your VAT number has been rejected on Tax Setting. Invalid VAT number can lead to deactivating your selling privilege and or restriction on your Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) service. Please take action immediately to solve your VAT number issue.
Why did this happen?
Your VAT number information has been changed or needed updates to the Tax Authority.
Please remember that it’s the responsibility of each Amazon seller to ensure they are VAT-compliant and you should seek professional advice if you are unsure of your obligations.
What should I do?
Please contact your tax service advisor to solve issues and reupload the valid updated VAT number from Seller Central – Setting – Tax Setting – Add VAT numbers.
The verification process takes between 3-5 business days. Please keep monitoring on the verification status until your VAT number shows “Verified”.
What happens if I do not upload a valid VAT number in Seller Central?
