VAT Refund
Hi All, am a seller that does not meet the requirements for VAT and put in my claim for a VAT refund 7 months ago now. Amazon just message me every 7 days to that they are looking into the issue. Given we are now 7 months past i need to escalate this. Any advice on how?

If you are not VAT registered, then why do you think you are due a refund ? You need to be VAT registered if your turnover is £90,000 or over. We all pay VAT on our seller fees.
Quote: "....put in my claim for a VAT refund 7 months ago now" - who are you expecting a refund from ? - Amazon or HMRC. maybe I am missing, or not fully understanding something in your query.

as has been said you have to pay vat on your amazon fees. You can claim it back if you are vat registered but as you are not there is nothing due back to you.

You need to be VAT registered to claim a VAT refund. Surely you know this? Amazon does not issue VAT refunds, HMRC issues them to VAT registered businesses.
If you register for VAT you can make a claim for VAT paid prior to registration up to a certain point, but since these were for fees paid 7+ months ago it's already past the threshold to make a claim even if you did register now.
