anyone else get the notice from Amazon today?
"We have received a notice from the UK tax authority, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), that they have determined that you are not established in the UK for VAT purposes. We must comply with HMRC’s indication, as the responsible tax authority, even though we previously confirmed your establishment in the UK, based on our assessment.
As a consequence, effective upon receiving this notice, the disbursements of part or all of your Amazon sales proceeds to UK customers have been temporarily withheld. Also, your Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) inventory may be temporarily blocked from removal, unless the funds withheld exceed your estimated liability. Additionally, within 10 days, we will begin to collect and remit VAT taxes on your sales for goods delivered to UK customers."
I have no idea if HMRC have actually said this to Amazon or if its just a repeat of the situation earlier this year, I'm curious if anyone else has been affected by this again or just me?
I am and have always been a UK based business and always pay my tax obligations in full so I don't know where they've got the idea that I'm not.
Amazon throwing so many curveballs at me lately, between 'competitive pricing' policy and overcharging me FBA fees based on false measurements. Feels like they're squeezing everything out of us sellers, even more so than usual.
