Regarding Marketplace Facilitator Tax Transactions

Greetings everybody,

We have been facing with a burdensome issue for the past 6 months regarding our status as a seller.

We are a Germany based company selling on Amazon for 5+ years.

Around 6 months ago, Amazon required us to prove that we are an EU established company, and we were immediately categorized as EU Deemed Reseller, meaning that Amazon started to collect VAT on each sales transaction (named Marketplace Facilitator VAT). After few months, we proved that we are an EU established company and everthing got back to business as usual.

The problem is, for the period which Amazon collected the VAT on each transcation, our tax consultant requested the proof of documents that Amazon had collected and paid the VAT (as Marketplace Facilitator) to tax authorities, that is German Tax Office.

We are in need of this document so that we can prove that Amazon had collected and paid the VATs to German Tax Office so that we can claim those already paid VATs back from German Tax Office.

We tried to reach out Amazon Tax Experts via Seller Support but they could not help us at all.

We were wondering if anyone faced a similar issue.

We also hope that someone from Amazon reads this issue and help us to find a solution to this.

Kindest Regards.
