When do I need to be VAT Registered when I am based in the UK?
Hello,
I have recently started selling on Amazon and I was wondering when I need to be VAT Registered, considering I am based in the UK? I had a read through the government’s website and it states that I do not have to charge VAT if I am under the threshold of 85k, however there is no article on Amazon to confirm this. Could anyone help me out?
Many thanks.

Amazon don’t offer VAT / Tax advice
It’s down to you, via sourcing info from the relevant government to ensure you are adhering to local laws
Always speak with your accountant or phone HMRC
As it is, £85k is the current threshold for VAT registration in UK for a UK based seller
Although depending on what you sell, voluntarily registering is sometimes advisable - hence speaking with an accountant who knows your current situation is recommended

Hi @ Neil,
Seller Support does answer questions regarding VAT if it impacts the Amazon seller account. If questions are more complex, Seller Support transfers request to another team which is specialized in VAT topic.
I wasn´t clear in my previous comment Sorry about that.
Have a nice evening everyone,
Julia.
