Unique Situation for UK Seller based in canada

Hi all,

I have a rather unique situation that is really holding me back from selling on amazon uk.

I am UK citizen, born and bred. However I am a permanent resident of Canada and I currently live here.

I’m going to open a new amazon uk seller account and I’m having an accountant in the UK set me up a Ltd Company.

I understand amazon will ask me for a utility bill to verify my identity. - I don’t have a utility bill in the UK with my name on since I don’t live there. I don’t even pay utilities at my condo in Canada.

So my questions are about trying to streamline this process to start selling.

  1. Will they check the address that my Ltd Company is registered too? I was going to register it too my parents/my family home in the uk.

  2. Can I set up the Ltd Company but put the address as my Canadian address?

  3. For a utility bill, can I use a Canadian internet bill?

  4. Does anyone have any advice on how I should go about doing this? ie can I just use all my canadian details and then use my uk bank card?

I know its a lot of questions, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Why would you setup a UK company? I don’t see that it offers you much?

If you are planning on using UK FBA you will still need to be VAT registered as you will will be a Non-Established Taxable Person.
