Accounting for VAT on Amazon sales in EU Countries and UK
Permalink  

Hi,

I have been reading a thread about Amazon sales and VAT but have got lost.

My client has recently registered for VAT as he has hit the threshold.

He sells mainly on Amazon in the UK and also in France, Germany, Italy and Spain.  He sends his goods out to Amazon fulfillment centers and then when a sale is made the goods are shipped within the relevant countries to the consumer.

As there are no VAT reports on Amazon I am wondering how do I account for the VAT on these sales bearing in mind that the fortnightly statements that are produced by Amazon show the sales amount, then their fees and finally the amount they pay across to my clients bank account which is the net amount.

Also do i need to complete an EC Sales listing for these sales?

None of my clients products are far as I am aware are being sold to companies that may or may not be VAT registered in their own countries.  It is a product that is just sold to consumers/end user.

 

Elaine

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.

Hi Elaine,

Have you managed to figure this out yet? I also have a client who have recently exceeded the vat threshold and is an Amazon/ebay seller. He sells cameras and misc items to go with the like batteries and charges. he mostly sells to the UK but recently has started selling quite a lot to European countries. He has updated Amazon and ebay with his vat number, but I don't know what to do about the EU sales, I know that many years ago there used to be an EU list, but I don't know if that's still around.
Many thanks

Nicola
