Dear Sir/ Madam, I registered a company in UK and move goods from UK to France (Amazon FBA) for distribution the goods to other EU countries. My company register VAT in some of the EU countries. Amazon recently raised the commission invoices for my company's EU sales to my UK registered company with their UK register VAT number and the Amazon invoices show that Amzon has an UK branch and UK address. Does it mean my company can claim the input VAT raised by Amazon in UK VAT return? Thank you Connie

Amazon has started to charge local VAT to local marketplace sellers, if you have a UK company that is established in the UK, Amazon will charge 20% VAT (since August 2024), prior to that their fee was reverse charge. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Effective August 1, 2024, Selling on Amazon, Fulfilment by Amazon, and all other services currently supplied by Amazon Services Europe S.à r.l. (ASE) will be supplied by Amazon EU S.à r.l. (AEU). All agreements, policies, terms and conditions currently referring to ASE, including Amazon Payments agreements, will be updated to AEU. Additionally, all invoices issued by Amazon will be issued by AEU instead of ASE after August 1, 2024. If your company is established in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, Belgium or Sweden, you will be invoiced by the AEU branch in your country of establishment. As a result, local VAT rules apply and and VAT will be charged on your Amazon fees. In the majority of cases, we expect that you will be able to recover this VAT through your normal VAT return process. We recommend that you contact your tax advisor for more information on recovering VAT as per your country of establishment's local regulations. If your company is not established in the countries listed above, you will be invoiced by the AEU head office in Luxembourg, and there will be no change to how VAT is applied on Amazon fees."
