How to AVOID Paying VAT on Amazon FBA Seller Fees! (How to Declare Amazon VAT Exemption UK)

How do I get the certificate of incorporation to verify my account is VAT free . Amazon require this certificate before they allow your account to be VAT free

Excellent video - thank you. I would also suggest added IDR in your title somehow as was just as relevant as the VAT savings

Super helpful video as always - gonna save many £££'s. One question - do you need to wait for Amazon to declare you as VAT exempt before automating invoices?

Worked a treat for me!! Thank you Darren

Hello, thanks for the information! Does this only apply to the UK? Or does it also apply to Amazon USA?

Hi Darren, I’ve done this (I’m a some trader) and sent Amazon my UTR letter from HMRC. They are not accepting it and want proof I’m a sole trader and have requested a self assessment tax return which I haven’t done yet. Is there any other document I can give them to prove I am a sole trader?

How can I get a vat refund for the lost profits?

Hello ! What about if i was vat registered since i opened my company(completely mistake) now i did deregistered . Works the same for vat exemption? Thank you!

You forgot to click 'Add Atatchment' to attach the Certificate of Incorporation

Thank you so much, much appreciated for the great advise and training on how to remove VAT.

7 star for quality advise, highly recommended to follow this video by all new seller.

Thank you again

Thank you very much Darren!! May God Bless you!

Great advice, thank you for sharing your tips. This is a game changer 🙏🏻

I registered as a Ltd company and they’re saying to be vat exempt I have to meet the criteria of being a sole trader ? I thought I could do this as a limited company

Hi Darren

Does this work even if im VAT registered?

Amazing. I just got an email from Amazon Seller Central UK today telling me to register for VAT. This was invaluable!

Thank you

Thanks for the help, do I pay VAT on all amazon advertising spend?

Kind regards

My comment was remove ?

Thank you Darren. Very helpful.

Many Thanks for this. Was useful.

Can I do vat exempt on Amazon even I don't have vat registered number for my Ltd?

Thank you very much! That took me 10 minutes to apply, to be exempt and everything! Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you. This was so helpful and I'm grateful you told me about this as no-one else mentions it.

Darren, thanks again. Very interested in your company. Re VAT, I am voluntary registered but for mu music business (not e-commerce). If I go exempt on Alibiba do I have to charge VAT on my amazon stock? Thanks.

As a LTD company do i need to be VAT registered?

Hi Darren this worked for me thanks alot now seller fees are vat exempt and they said theyll process a refund after this month has passed BUT do they give refund since i started amazon or just this month?

This hasn't worked for me, I was sent an email saying..... We would like to inform you that we need you to provide one of the following documents for us to proceed with your request.

- Self Assessment issued by HMRC which clearly outlines you as a Sole Trader and the dates from which you were registered as one.(Be aware we cannot accept an UTR Letter)
OR
- Current Tax Return outlining your name and sole trader income.

We'll proceed with your case once we receive the requested information from your end.

Hi Darren - is this for VAT registered companies or does this apply to non VAT registered aswell ?

Hi Darren,do you now maybe does this apply on German market?Thank you

brilient technique, this vdo helful us

I’m a sole trader and I tried this. They emailed back saying I need to provide a certificate of incorporation, or a explicit letter from HMRC, or a current tax return. They state they do not accept a UTR letter

Once approved do you stop getting charged VAT on your fees straight away as I have just been approved and still being charged VAT on my sales.

Hi thank you for the video any infos on non uk residents can we do that as well

Another top Video Darren Thank you a lot, I will start soon to sell on AMZ as UK ltd, I will start selling in Italy as low competition than the UK, and then bring here my product, my company isn't registered with VAT should I do inform AMZ now as you showed us.
And before I reach 85K £ a year, inform again AMZ to make me pay the VAT and register my company as a VAT Registred?
Thank you Darren.

Thank you Darren for another very helpful video,
I have been selling on Amazon FBA for about 3 years now and this is first time I hear about this little trick. It will save a heap of cash for sure.
I would love to see a video on how to claim VAT back on Selling Fees, I hope you'll make it soon 🙏
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I really appriacie your time and effort, great content
All the best👍

Hello,

I think you are wrong about VAT.
All (almost) goods or services imported into the UK are subject to VAT.
Whether it's a brick or a fee for advertising services. In these particular cases, it is 20%.
Non VAT registered businesses cannot reclaim this from HMRC, VAT registered businesses can.
On the example of such a brick, I will explain it to you:
I have a company X in the UK registered for VAT, I buy bricks from the manufacturer for £0.90 excl.VAT. Selling them in the UK is £1 plus VAT, for a customer who buys this brick in my shop in the UK it is £1.20. Profit £0.10.

If I exported this brick to France to my company Y, I sell it for £1, no VAT. So I earn £0.10 from it.
After a week this French company Y exports the same brick to the UK for say £1.10 (Profit £0.10.) to my other company Z in the UK which has a turnover of less than £85000 and does not need to be VAT registered.
In the shop of company Z, I also sell this brick for £1.20. Profit £0.10.
Thanks to this, I could earn on this one brick not £0.10 but £0.30.

This is called a tax carousel.

That's really good information. Thank you.

What is the process of creating a second seller account? Do we need to inform seller support that I need second account? Thanks

How come we can’t claim vat from ADs?
