We have a similar situation and are tackling it in the following way. Amazon provided the following: 1. Transaction statements 2. Pay out statements 3. VAT demands based on alleged Amazon sales. We are left with figures at 1, 2 and 3 above which do not agree with each other. We are therefore left with no choice but to rely on pay out statements from Amazon as these figures appear in our bank account. The original VAT returns were completed based on transaction statements which do not agree with pay out statements but at least from our point of view the pay out statements agree with monies received by us. We now have a situation where Amazon's VAT demand does not agree with the figures they have already paid us. We are therefore now in a situation where we are challenging Amazon to prove their figures. In the meantime, we are claiming a VAT refund from HMRC on a quarterly basis, based upon VAT overpaid for each quarter for the last 4 years. The amount of the refund from HMRC could exceed £500,000.

We have a similar situation with Amazon, with a likely VAT refund of nearly £500,000 (VAT). Perhaps we can work together for our mutual benefit and share experiences.

We have a client who has been recognised as being NETP. The client has 3 separate VAT numbers and has been recognised by Amazon as being NETP for the last 2-3 years. We have been advised to complete form 652 for the above. However, this appears to be required for every quarter for each of the VAT numbers. We wish to amalgamate all the workings of the three VAT registered entities and do the entire workings for the period of the last 3 years as one "deemed" group, using consolidated workings. The number of transactions involved are over 150,000 per year, per entity. Has anyone had experience of this before?
