Tax certificate in Germany
Hi, Im doing FBM from Ireland and today got the notification from Amz.de about my tax certificate.
Im a bit confused cause the whole message once mentioned the Vat and in another line says about Tax. Is this all about Vat all is there some another Tax requirements in Germany?
Dear Selling Partner,
Your account has been blocked from selling on Amazon.de marketplace, using FBA services in Germany (including Pan-EU and CEE FBA programs) and from shipping orders to German based customers because your German Tax Certificate was not uploaded and verified by the deadline.
Under German VAT legislation, online marketplaces must collect German Tax Certificate from selling partners who are required to be tax registered in Germany. Uploading German tax certificate (F22) or acknowledging this declaration will reinstate your selling ability. Once you upload your Tax Certificate, we will review it and will revert to you in case additional information is required. This process may take up to 5 working days.
If you are required to be German tax registered, upload your German tax certificate: https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/tax/registrations?defaultAction=DE-BusinessReg-add
If you are not required to be German tax registered, you must acknowledge this declaration that you are not generating taxable sales in Germany: https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gc/amazon-business/tax-settings/tax-certificate-de/tax-declaration
You are allowed a 30-day period to remove your inventory from DE fulfilment centers, after which, any remaining inventory will be disposed of at your cost without further notice.

It says this has happened because my Tax certificate wasnt uploaded within deadline. Where do I suppose to see any deadlines?
Can somebody tell me is there any other marketplace that I may need some Tax number other than Vat? And do I need a Vat no for FBA in every country?
