Attention Amazon Sellers in Europe! Are you worried about the validation of your VAT registration information? Many Taiwan cross-border sellers face a common problem: VAT registration information cannot be verified, resulting in limited sales privileges. This not only affects your day-to-day operations, but may also cause you to lose your edge in the highly competitive European marketplace.
First, it's important to understand that Amazon collects and validates VAT registration data from the EU member states, the UK, Norway, and Switzerland in order to comply with the requirements of government tax authorities. This ensures that VAT is consistently and accurately applied to your sales, allowing you to fulfill your VAT obligations. VAT registration obligations are triggered, for example, when you use Amazon's logistics (FBA) service, or store merchandise in a European overseas warehouse, or sell merchandise to a corporate buyer.
More surprisingly, many sellers provide VAT registration information (VAT legal name and address) that does not match the information stored in the official tax agency database, which is the most common reason for validation failure! To solve this problem, you need to make sure that you have a valid VAT registration number for all countries with tax obligations and that the VAT registration information matches the official database.
Most importantly, you can choose the type of address that matches your actual situation when you add VAT registration information on the seller platform, including a legal address, VAT group representative address, and fiscal representative address. If you provide a non-legal address, additional supporting documents may be required.
If you have been notified of a request for valid VAT information, please log in to the SellerPlatform and go to the Tax Setup page to update your information immediately. Once verified, your selling privileges will be restored, but please note that this may take up to a week.
