- You must register for VAT in each EU country where you store FBA stock, even if Amazon collects VAT under OSS for some orders.
- VAT on Amazon FBA fees can be reclaimed if you are VAT registered in the EU or UK; Amazon may reverse charge depending on your location.
- Non-EU sellers may need a fiscal representative to register for VAT, depending on the country; this can delay registration.
- EORI numbers are needed for importing goods into the EU/UK, while VAT numbers are required for storing goods or reclaiming VAT; both are essential for Amazon sellers.
- You cannot reclaim VAT on Amazon fees without VAT registration, even if below the UK threshold; international sellers must register before their first UK sale.
