Should my newly formed limited company register for VAT in order to sell goods online?

Hi, Just need some clarity on the exact conditions needed to be Vat registered or not. Our limited company business has recently been set up and plans to sell small non food products online via amazon. The annual turnover is expected to be well under the current limit of £85k. The business is UK registered with sales planned for just the UK market currently. The products will be sourced and imported from China. Does the business need to be VAT registered? If not, how does the business seek a VAT exemption to show Amazon so that the business is not charged VAT from Amazon. Is this indeed possible? Any guidance or advice would be appreciated, thank you

Hi Mark Harris,
If you are a UK established business and selling products in the UK then there is no requirement to register for VAT unless the Registration threshold is breached.
You can however register voluntarily if you wish, please see the guidance below:
3. Working out whether you need to register
Unfortunately we can't produce confirmation to you that you don't require a VAT Registration and so you would need to contact the marketplace regarding alternative evidence you can provide them.
Thank you.
