Hello Everyone.

I just wanted to find out the process of not paying VAT on my sales, I am still under the threshold of £85k and I am not VAT registered yet.

Every time I do calculations that will include Amazon fees, I am still paying other costs which I am assuming it is VAT on sales.

Any idea on how to approach Seller support on this issue?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

N:B I have my UTR number/ I receive Amazon Tax/VAT invoices every month.

I'm going to write to my MP and complain that the firms outside the EU don't pay VAT on British online sales below £120 - I bet nothing will happen - it's easier to tax small businesses to extinction!

Hi

I am looking for some guidance and advise because I have tried creating a seller case but the answers received are of no help at all mainly because the support team are not compatent enough to understand my question.

Right now I am a UK registered company with VAT numbers in each EU market place.

Currently Amazon does not withhold VAT from my UK sales as I am a UK based company, but they do withhold VAT from my EU sales and pay them directly to each relevant tax authority.

Question 1 - If I was a German registered company and was selling in EU markets only, would Amazon withhold the VAT on sales in Spain, Italy and France and pay them directly to the tax authorities? In this scenario I understand that for German sales they would not withhold the VAT on sales because my company is registered in Germany.

Question 2 - If in the above scenario, Amazon DOES withhold the VAT to sales in other EU countries, then how can I set up a parent company based in Germany that operates subsidiaries in various EU countries so Amazon would not withhold the VAT on sales to those countries? The purpose of this would be to enhance cash flow because from what I understand Amazon does not pay the VAT authorities immediately.

Thanks
