Register VAT with Amazon
- Where your business is based.
- Where you’re seeking to trade.
This is a complex issue that depends on two factors: Generally, if you’re looking to store inventory elsewhere for easy shipping to customers, you’ll need a valid VAT number at the destination.
Register EPR with Amazon
EPR requirements have been implemented across the EU and in the UK.
These requirements will vary depending on your intended trading market(s). There is no EU-wide registration scheme, so you’ll need to comply with all local regulations.
Supplementary requirements – EURP
Depending on where you’re trading, you may also need to comply with additional market regulations. For example, the EU has introduced the EU Responsible Person (EURP) requirement to support the product safety of CE-marked products.
- Trading on Amazon
Amazon is obliged to check that you are complying with local requirements, whether it is for VAT, tax or any other regulation. This check will include verifying your registration details, such as your VAT/EPR number/Product Compliance.
- Staying compliant with regulations
Amazon may suspend:
- Specific product listings.
- Your Amazon store - regional marketplaces.
- Your Amazon store – all sales.
You should ensure that Amazon is updated with all the relevant registrations.
You may also face additional regulatory action from the relevant local authorities, including fines/penalties for non-compliance.
- Boosting your business with TBA Global
Besides from our compliance services, we can help expand your business even further with additional services such as trademarking.
What do businesses think of TBA Global?
Ruwen Kissy
Great service experience; the collaboration from last year to this year has been very smooth. Especially this year, due to holidays, I almost missed the filing deadline. The TBA staff took great responsibility, contacted me multiple times, and eventually, we managed to submit on time, avoiding any penalties. Many thanks! You are indeed trustworthy.
Damla Kicci
It is a reliable company that I can definitely recommend. Everything is going very well. Especially Mr. Onur is very attentive. He takes care of me at all times. I would like to thank Mr. Onur, especially TBA. I recommend it to everyone.
Rebecca Laura
We got great support from TB Accountant every time. The whole process from sales to EPR service team were perfect and all communications were polite and professional. Great service.
Special thanks to the EPR service team, who discovered errors in the Amazon data while submitting the EPR data for the year 2022.
They reminded me to check the data and notify Amazon of their mistakes (Amazon data often has errors!). This prevented me from incurring additional costs of 1500 euros due to Amazon’s issues. Their service is much better than my current VAT service provider, and I am considering transferring the VAT to their company as well.
Everett Feuerstein
When we need German VAT, I use them. During this time, we discovered that they are professional and responsible for every detail. Nicely patient with each of my questions. I gradually transfer all of my VAT from other countries to them. Ray Lei, the client service manager, in particular, is responsible and patient.

I spoke to a Woman called Kim and she is lovely. Very helpful Woman that helped me every step of the way. Great customer service would recommend for sure.

Frequently Asked Questions
You’ll usually need to apply for VAT to use Amazon’s regional marketplaces. For example, if you want to use Amazon.de, you’ll need to obtain a valid German VAT registration.
This is in addition to the other standard VAT rules, such as having a VAT registration in the location where you intend to store inventory. For example, if you want to store inventory in a German warehouse, you must have a valid German VAT registration first.
If you need to apply for VAT, get in touch with us and we can help you.
You should upload your VAT number(s) to Amazon Seller Central. Amazon will then verify that your number(s) are valid and allow you to start trading.
You should also double-check whether you need to comply with any other regulations. Many regions will have additional compliance requirements such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
The Citizen ID and Business Registration Number fields are only mandatory for your domestic tax registration (e.g. if your business is established in Italy, you will need to provide both along with your Italian VAT number).
For all other VAT numbers, you can leave the fields blank. Amazon will only verify the VAT number(s).
Amazon will automatically flag any non-compliant product listings and inform you of your EPR obligations. Depending on the region, your listings may be suspended until you upload a valid EPR number.
Some regions may mandate the marketplace to automatically enrol you in an alternative EPR reporting service (e.g. Amazon Pay on Behalf in Spain).
Alternatively, you can get in touch with us and we can see how to best help you.
Amazon acts as a marketplace facilitator for some transactions, which means that Amazon will collect and remit VAT on your behalf. Transactions eligible for marketplace facilitation will be marked in your account summary.
However, this does not apply to all transactions (e.g. B2B sales). For any remaining transactions, you will still need to collect and remit VAT yourself. This is then reported through the VAT returns we submit on your behalf.
