Selling in the EU from the UK, how does tax and VAT work in terms of reporting to HMRC?
We've had our Amazon shop for nearly a year now and were predominantly using FBM in the UK only, but in the last three months have found FBA is working a lot better for us.
A few weeks ago, I accidentally enrolled into remote fulfilment where I've discovered our products are popular in France, Spain, Italy and The Netherlands and I'd like to continue with this.
I've been reading the seller forums, Reddit posts and seller university for advice selling in the EU, and I've established that Amazon collect and remit VAT across the countries on goods below £135, which is all of our products anyway. But where I'm confused is how to declare these sales to HMRC and report on my accounting software?
I currently invoice our overall sales, minus refunds and minus Amazon fees, all VAT inclusive. How do I report this for sales in the countries above? Is it still 20% VAT to HMRC? Zero rated? No VAT? Reverse Charge? I'm just stuck
