My Account is 100% UK based and above board but KYC verification has blocked my account and said I owe 33k
this is beyond a joke, my account was on block because of KYC verification
Now they have come back with the following:
We reviewed your account and the information that you provided, and we have decided that you may not open a Selling on Amazon account.
We leveraged a combination of automated means and expert human review to identify this issue and make this decision
Followed by :
We previously communicated that we started collecting VAT on your sales for goods delivered to customers in the UK starting 24-Mar-25, because you are not established in the UK for VAT purposes.
We completed our final assessment, and determined the final VAT liability you owe is GBP 33190.74.
Seriously.....
Any options other than letter before action for the 4k on hold and a trip to small claims court?

Where are you based/live ? If not in UK but you are storing your goods here for FBA then you DO need to be VAT registered here in UK - there is no threshold for non-UK residents. When you say you are 100% UK based, have you by any chance used a virtual address ? - Amazon don't seem to like those, as tend to assume that if you are using an address where many other businesses are located that you maybe do not live here in UK - just a thought.
