VAT charged to UK Businesses in Tax dcoument library
Hi All,
I'm looking for some advice I have been selling in the USA for 18 months and just discovered the tax document library in my USA selling account I thought it wouldnt be of use as it should be zero rated vat. However, the invoices have vat on them charged at UK rate but the amazon business address is us based. So I want to know is this UK VAT I've been charged and can I reclaim it in the UK? It has UK VAT number on invoice. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Seller_NRbSrvQsLSXts
Connor from Amazon here. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your situation regarding VAT charges on invoices for your US-based Amazon selling account is certainly complex.
I reviewed the account you are posting from and I only see UK marketplace active and the US one is inactive, so the the VAT invoices are there since you are selling in the UK. I did confirm that your business is also registered in the UK on this specific account.
Do you have a secondary account by any chance that is only selling the US?
You can also reach out to Seller Support by creating a case in Seller Central via this link: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/cu/contact-us
Include details about the invoices and your concerns and ask for clarification on why UK VAT is being charged on a US-based account.
Please share the case ID with us here once you have it so that we can track and escalate further if needed.
Thank you,
Connor
