Hello,

My business is UK VAT registered with a UK location. All of our orders on Amazon.co.uk are currently being charged VAT directly from our sales proceeds. The charges line item is called 'MarketplaceFacilitatorVAT-Principal', it's on every order and is 20%. I am needing clarification of if this VAT charge is reclaimable from HMRC on our quarterly VAT filings, or if this is a type of VAT which is not reclaimable.

Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to be a non VAT registered UK business (due to being under the threshold) but be registered for VAT in the EU?

hello i need some help i have been backwards and forwards with amazon for 3 weeks over VAT establisment. They believe i am a non-uk business. i am a limited company set up on companies house and do not earn 85k therefore I am registered exempt from VAT (since september 2023 when i started) Amazon have said i owe £1400 in vat, is this correct or have amazon made a mistake? 

Here is email from amazon
