Hello,

I recently received an email from amazon in regards to verifying establishment for value added tax to prove im UK Eligible.

I received this email -

Hello,

Thank you for your submission. We reviewed the information provided, but we need additional documentation to determine whether you are established in the UK for Value Added Tax (VAT) purposes.

Why did this happen?

We must collect and remit VAT from non-UK established selling partners for the sales of goods delivered to customers in the UK. Based on a review of your account, we determined that you may not be UK established for VAT purposes. We leveraged a combination of automated means and expert human review to identify this issue and make this decision. We took this action in accordance with the Amazon Business Solution Agreement:

and APUK Agreement:

What actions do I have to take?

To avoid further impact to your disbursements, go to the Account Health page in your Seller Central account and follow the instructions from the banner that is present at the top of the page to submit the following mentioned documentation:

You can provide any one of the following documents :

-A recent UK council tax bill or business rates of the current year, addressed to the company or a director of the company.

-A recent utility bill dated within 180 days addressed to the company or the director of the company.

-If you are using a shared working space, you can provide one of the following:

A recent license agreement

Copies of invoices for payment of rent

A proof of payment of rent.

The document must be in the name of the company or the director,with the shared working space provider, for a period of 6 months or longer.

2.Provide the below document for proof of operational business address.

-A copy of an invoice addressed to the company at its primary place of business for goods or services used to operate its business. It must be dated within 180 days.

If you do not meet the UK establishment criteria: Verify that you are not established in the UK.

In this case, you will not need to provide documentation, but you will need to pay Amazon to account for the un-paid VAT.
