French VAT deregistered - case repeatedly reviewed under VAT exemption workflow
Hi,
I’m looking for assistance with a VAT compliance case that appears to be stuck in the wrong review workflow.
We previously held a French VAT registration which was formally deregistered effective 31/10/2022 after ceasing inventory storage in France. We have provided Amazon with confirmation from our tax agent, VIES status, and inventory reports showing no stock in France.
However, our case continues to receive responses related to VAT exemption / SME eligibility, which does not apply to our situation.
Would an Amazon moderator be able to help route this case for manual VAT compliance review under VAT deregistration / no longer required?
Thank you for any guidance.

Hello, This is Zyan from Amazon, and I am here to assist you.
Wolf_Cycles, I understand your concern about the VAT compliance case that appears to be stuck in the wrong review workflow, especially since you formally deregistered your French VAT effective 31/10/2022 and have already provided confirmation from your tax agent, VIES status, and inventory reports showing no stock in France.
I want to educate you on how to resolve this issue. Your case is currently being routed through the VAT exemption or SME eligibility workflow, which does not apply to your situation since you have deregistered your French VAT and no longer store inventory in France. To address this, please check the Performance Notification you received regarding VAT compliance for specific instructions.
Next Steps:
- Review the Performance Notification carefully for specific requirements
- Respond to the PN with a clear statement about VAT deregistration (not exemption)
- Resubmit all supporting documents with your response
- Request manual review under the VAT deregistration verification workflow
The community and I are here to support you.
Regards,
Zyan
