URGENT: Upload your VAT number now
Just received the below email from Amazon saying our account doesn’t have a VAT number, whereas the reality is we do have a UK VAT number and it’s clearly listed on our account . Anyone else received?
We only sell in the UK, don’t do Pan Euro FBA, don’t allow stock to be stored anywhere but the UK so no idea what’s going on.
I’m now worried that we’re going to get suspended for something we’ve no idea about.
Any ideas?

We received that email too, we too have our VAT number on all Amazon marketplaces. Weird, I think it’s spam. There’s nothing in seller central requesting the same.
If your VAT is entered in seller central, I wouldn’t click any of the links

I have had it and I am not VAT registered.
I have had them before and they were definitely spam.
Not saying this one is, but as long as you check your account info and all in good order, and no red flag then should be OK.

It’s very easy for Amazon to solve this spam headache and constant postings of account compromises.
No email from Amazon should have a link to click. FULL STOP
If anything needs to be updated, the email should be a notification requesting you to login into your account and action XYZ. But because Amazon still sends out such emails, it leaves sellers confused on whether it’s real or not. There will be very small number of new or inexperienced sellers that get caught out.
A simple solution to avoid unnecessary headache for sellers and Amazon seller support.

I have had the same email this morning, I am not VAT registered and do not think need to be. I sell four books, all based and in the UK and distributed from the UK. They do not earn enough money for me to have to be Vat registered. I am not sure what to do and do not want my account suspending for something that I am not required to do. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Did anyone else think that this e-mail just read like pure spam

Is it not true that you don’t have to be VAT registered if your yearly earnings is less than £80000. Also if my products are zero VAT exempt , do I still need to get my VAT registration done. I now issue my invoice to buyers. Can someone please enlighten me on this. Thank you.
