What is VAT on Amazon Europe?

The EU levies VAT on all goods and services that are not in the business or in the EU as a whole. This is also known as a transaction tax, which is payable every time value is generated. This includes material manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, as well as consumers.

When the seller sells a product into the UK, the product needs to pay import tax, and when the product is sold, the seller can refund the import VAT and pay the corresponding sales tax on the sales amount.

In fact, VAT on sales and import tax are two separate taxes, you pay import tax on goods when they are imported into a UK warehouse, but you also need to pay VAT on sales VAT when goods are sold.

If your products are shipped using FBA or local warehouse in the UK, then you need to pay VAT in the UK, it is recommended that you register a VAT number as soon as possible and declare and pay the tax, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble and affect the normal sales situation.
