Your disbursements are on temporary hold, UK Establishment. Impossible to provide documents

I am a UK registered company (UK operations and I’m a UK citizen) but not illegible for VAT as under £85k revenue.

I’m able to provide all the documents in the list except the utility bill/ invoice item, due to the fact that I physically operate my business from a different address than my stated business address, hence any invoices/utility bills paid by the company are sent to a different address.

Amazon should provide another way to complete this item as not all companies will be operating out of their primary address.

I have quite a lot of money stuck on hold right now and it feels like theft!

The current VAT threshold is now £90,000, not £85,000 (turnover not profit). Surely when you set up your account you should have used your operating address ?

Hello @Seller_L4o3PGADCJ0zO,

This is Abella from Amazon to help you. I understand your concern related to UK establishment process.

From January 1, 2021, Amazon will be responsible for collecting UK VAT on the following sales of goods delivered to customers in the UK where ordered through any Amazon storefront:

* Goods delivered from inventory stored outside the UK with a shipment value of up to £135; and

* Goods delivered from inventory stored in the UK, irrespective of value, where you, the selling partner, are not established in the UK for VAT purposes.

Where either of these supplies take place, Amazon will calculate and collect UK VAT from the customer at checkout and remit this directly to the UK Tax Authorities. You will not receive the UK VAT amount in your disbursements and will not be required to remit these amounts to the UK Tax Authorities (more details on UK VOEC).

In order to ensure that this legislation is applied correctly, Amazon is required to make a determination of whether Selling Partners are “established” in the UK for VAT purposes, which requires that the business is physically operated from within the UK with sufficient resources. The sole use of an UK incorporated legal entity without any physical operations within the UK does not meet this definition.

Amazon may request documentary evidence from Selling Partners to assist with this determination of establishment. Please, note that this evidence might be similar to the documentation you already provided in your registration process. It is important that Selling Partners reply fully to these requests to ensure continued normal operation of their Sell on Amazon account.

I notice that there appears to be a discrepancy between your registered business address in Seller Central and your actual operating location.

Could you please provide details about where you currently conduct your business operations physically, and explain why a different address was provided in your Seller Central account? We need to understand the reason for this variation between your stated business address and your actual operating location.

If you need any further assistance, you can post here so that we or any of the sellers on forum can help you.

Regards,

Abella.
