Update to Amazon UK and EU agreements and VAT treatment
Effective August 1, 2024, Selling on Amazon, Fulfilment by Amazon, and all other services currently supplied by Amazon Services Europe S.à r.l. (ASE) will be supplied by Amazon EU S.à r.l. (AEU). All agreements, policies, terms and conditions currently referring to ASE, including Amazon Payments agreements, will be updated to AEU. Additionally, all invoices issued by Amazon will be issued by AEU instead of ASE after August 1, 2024.
If your company is established in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Belgium or Sweden, you will be invoiced by the AEU branch in your country of establishment. As a result, local VAT rules apply and and VAT will be charged on your Amazon fees. In the majority of cases, we expect that you will be able to recover this VAT through your normal VAT return process.
We recommend that you contact your tax advisor for more information on recovering VAT as per your country of establishment's local regulations.
If your company is not established in the countries listed above, you will be invoiced by the AEU head office in Luxembourg, and there will be no change to how VAT is applied on Amazon fees.
Note: This change doesn't impact your account access, listings, product pricing, customer reviews, selling services or the price of services.

I am VAT exempt, but since I have not provided my UK VAT registration number, I will also be charged Amazon fees from 1 August ?

Just doing my accounts for May and adding in Tax Invoices from Amazon to discover I have 2 invoices from Amazon for seller fees in May
One from the usual Amazon Luxembourg (reverse charged VAT) covering 1st to 29th May, - but the other for fees on 30th May invoiced from Amazon GB with VAT added.
Makes no difference to me (apart from cashflow) as I can claim the VAT back on the second invoice - but I thought the change was coming into effect as from 1st August?? Seems Amazon have already started on the changeover.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Oh and also just noticed VAT amount is not correct - Amazon have said fees for 30th May were £33.48 and VAT is £6.72
VAT @20% on £33.48 is £6.70 - OK so its only 2p difference but its my 2p and not Amazons. Now if Amazon are charging me an extra 2p in VAT are they sending this extra 2p to HMRC or will they be telling HMRC that they owe £6.70 and keeping the 2p for themselves??

I am a UK company that is amazon exempt an NOT VAT registered, I have been paying VAT on fees since september, should I have been paying VAT on amazon FBA and sellers fees?
Any help appreciated

will the VAT charged (and deducted from disbursements) be summarized on the payments reports page, so we can see exactly what the fees were on each disbursement, rather than month by month?

So does this mean that if you buy goods off aamzon de or amazon fr and ship them to the UK you can claim the VAT back from UK? The invoices have 20% VAt charged and also have the UK branch and vat number listed not the european ones?

Hello everyone. Do I need to obtain a VAT number or will Amazon automatically calculate and provide the data to the relevant government? I don't need to provide this information to the government where I conduct my business myself?

Hey, does this change apply to individual sellers or sole traders who sell on Amazon under just as an individual? So no limited company, grateful for a a response.

Hi,
Going forward UK Amazon Fees will incur VAT and be reclaimed as usual through VAT returns (if the seller is VAT registered).
I am also selling in Germany (where I am VAT registered)... UK VAT rates (20%) are applied to the Amazon fees in Germany (because my business is domiciled in the UK) and not the German VAT rate (19%).
Is this reclaimed through the German VAT authorities or the UK (HMRC) VAT return?
Thanks
