Europe VAT# Belgium VAT

Amazon has announced that it will be officially enforcing the Belgian compliance requirements, which will require sellers to upload a valid VAT registration number in their seller platform by January 1, 2024, according to the new Belgian VAT regulations.
As required by law, Amazon is obligated to collect proof of compliance and has the right to suspend the accounts of non-compliant Sellers, which will affect Sellers' ability to sell goods on the Amazon.com.be Mall, as well as to sell goods to Belgian buyers.
This means that sellers who are obliged to register a "Belgian VAT" and have not yet done so, need to do so in time to avoid the suspension of their accounts.

You must submit a Belgium VAT registration number on the Seller's Platform in the following cases:
You have inventory stored in Belgium; or

In the following cases, you can choose to submit the Belgian VAT registration number or the status of your country's EU one-stop filing system on the SellerPlatform in order to report all EU B2C cross-border sales through that system:
