- Amazon Pan-European FBA stores inventory in multiple EU countries, which creates immediate local VAT obligations.
- Sellers must register for VAT in every country where Amazon holds stock, even if sales are below local thresholds.
- The OSS scheme only covers cross-border consumer sales; it does not cover local VAT or stock transfers between fulfillment centers.
- Sellers must file local VAT returns and, where applicable, EC Sales Lists and Intrastat declarations.
- Missing or mismatched VAT registrations can lead to Amazon removing listings or suspending accounts.
