UK amazon store deactivated due to not having VAT number
Hello, I live in Canada and have a seller account in CANADA and UK FBA. Recently I registered for UK account and after 2-3 months I got notifications to provide the VAT number. However as I did not register my business because of not having too many sales, I cannot apply for a VAT number because they ask for a business license.
So, now for the last 15 months, I am paying them around $50/month for my FBA storage. Because of not having a VAT number, I cant return my inventory, and can't deactivate my account.
the plan is already individual. But charges are for FBA Storage. And because I don't have a VAT number neither I can deactivate my account nor destroy/return my FBA storage products.
Do you guys have any solution to stop charges or deactivate my UK account except by providing VAT number?
Please help me
Thank you

Just by sending stock into Amazon FBA - you should have got a VAT number. So, no, the only way to sort it is to get a VAT number.

"I cannot apply for a VAT number because they ask for a business license."
I don't believe that a business license is required for VAT registration, even for NETPs.
