VAT Calculation Services will calculate VAT by shipment as of June 1
Effective from June 1, 2026, we’re updating Value Added Tax (VAT) Calculation Services (VCS) to comply with European e-invoicing mandates.
Instead of calculating VAT per unit, VCS will calculate VAT on the total invoice amount (shipment level) by tax rate. This means that when customers buy multiple units, the total invoice amounts may differ from current calculations.
Depending on the sales channel (regardless of customer VAT registration), VCS will apply one of two methods:
- Consumer website: VCS will impute VAT from the VAT-inclusive price. If multiple units are bought, unit exclusive prices may vary.
- Amazon Business website: VCS will derive the VAT-exclusive unit price from the VAT-inclusive unit price. VAT will be calculated on the total VAT-exclusive price by tax rate.
For more information or to enrol, go to VAT Calculation Services.
For more information about invoice-total VAT calculations and to view examples, go to section 10: Invoice-total VAT Calculation Method of the VAT Calculation Services methodology.
