OSS Vat Question
Every time I think I understand the new OSS filling system something else comes up and confuses me even more…
So we have finally been given our OSS data from our Vat filling Company. From a glance it looks like the Vat has been charged on the invoice for every order by Amazon. So my question is , has Amazon already paid this Vat on our behalf. ? If so do we need to just fill the figures for OSS and not pay anything
There OSS Data is showing order to countries we already have a vat number and are filling in, which is even more confusing!

Amazon should have collected and paid all VAT for B2C orders below 150 Euros.
At one point they were only collecting VAT on the distance sales but it looks like they are collecting FBA sales too.

If the sale was on Amazon then yes, the VAT should have been collected and paid by Amazon (on all B2C sales below 150 Euro)
I am assuming as you have your own data/filing you have registered and have your own OSS number as you are also doing sales yourself through some other means into the EU? If so, how is the sales data getting to your VAT filing company? Are you using Amazon VCS or something else completely separate?
If you are ONLY selling via marketplaces (like Amazon) then you have no need for your own OSS number. The marketplace is responsible for collecting and paying the VAT.
If you are storing goods in the EU then you will need your own VAT number for that country and will need to submit tax returns in that country.
As to how you fill in the forms, I cannot help. I would advise seeking help from an experienced accountant for such a complicated area.

Thank you very much for your thoughts.
We are part of PAN and Amazon store our products in the EU. We have 7 EU vat numbers and are filling in those countries.
Any other sales we do are dealt with in our domestic Vat return so it is really just our PAN FBA Sales
The new OSS means we have to file in the other EU countries where an order lands in, but is the VAT already paid for these orders? Are we just filling?
Amazon are marking some orders as an OSS Sale if it store in Italy for example and shipped to Germany.
