VAT for Amazon sellers — critical
VAT is a crucial topic for Amazon UK sellers. The threshold is £90,000 annual turnover. But if you use FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) with inventory stored in the UK, VAT registration is mandatory immediately — even below £90,000.
Amazon collects VAT on your behalf on some sales and remits it to HMRC. Eteform offers VAT registration service — completed within 2–4 weeks.
For cross-border EU sales: you may need OSS (One Stop Shop). Consult a VAT specialist for correct structuring.
FBA — Fulfilled by Amazon
FBA = Amazon stores your inventory and ships to customers. UK fulfilment centres (Doncaster, Tilbury, etc.) serve all of the UK and Europe.
You need an EORI number for UK imports — it's free and takes 5 minutes to apply online. A UK Ltd makes EORI application straightforward.
Your workflow: UK Ltd → VAT → EORI → Wise Business → Seller Central → Ship to FBA. Eteform covers steps 1–3.
