Hello,

I am registered as a business owner in Poland and am planning to sell FBM products from Poland on Amazon Germany. My annual sales do not exceed the limit of 10,000 euros. I have not registered for the VAT OSS system.

Amazon Germany has requested that I sign a German Tax declaration:

"For selling partners who are not carrying out taxable sales according to the provisions of the German VAT Code and are therefore not required be tax registered in Germany and to obtain a German VAT number, Amazon, as a marketplace operator, must obtain this declaration if you wish to continue to sell goods to customers in Germany.

The declaration asks you to confirm the following:

If I ship goods directly from outside the EU to German customers, for all these shipments there is no tax liability in Germany because the conditions specified in Section 3 Para 8 of the German VAT Code are not fulfilled."

Given my circumstances, can I sign this declaration?

Am I correct in understanding that as long as my annual sales remain below the 10,000 euro threshold and I am not shipping goods directly from Germany (all shipments will be made from Poland), I do not have any tax obligations in Germany?

Thank you for your assistance.

My own company is registered in German, it has its own HRB number and consequently VAT number. In the same time, I'm a citizen of the country outside of EU. When I tried to submit my company's VAT number to the Amazon it claims that I could not submit this information. It says that my personal ID (Which is different from the German ID number) number is INVALID.

How can I resolve this problem?

How can I submit VAT for my company, registered in Germany and the owner of the company is not a citizen of EU and Germany?

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with my blocked Amazon.co.uk account, which was suspended due to VAT compliance issues (Now I have UK VAT number). I am now trying to get it reactivated. I contacted HMRC, but they require a 7-digit CFSS or CFS number, which they say should be listed in the Amazon notification about my account suspension.

I have not received this number directly, but I believe Amazon should have it in the correspondence or internal notes related to my account suspension. Amazon Support has directed me to contact HMRC, but HMRC insists the number must be obtained from Amazon.

Could anyone advise on how to get the CFSS or CFS number from Amazon? Is there a specific department or a method to request that Amazon check the documentation linked to my suspended account?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
