Vat refund, how long to receive yours?
Hello. As I am sure some of you are aware that you can get a VAT refund on selling fees, I am wondering if anyone recently has asked amazon for this refund and how long it takes before getting refund confirmation about the amount due?
From reading online it can take between 1 to 3 months but can be longer, but hoping Amazon are quicker than that...

I did mine last month and took about a week, which was pleasantly surprising. The finalisation email came a few days after the actual deposit was made to my balance so keep an eye on this as it may just be sitting there if you're not actively expecting it

Assuming you mean declaring to Amazon your VAT status as registered so that they no longer charge VAT on fees. Took under 30 days
