Do Amazon Fees Include EU VAT?

It Depends …

• For pending orders, and while the order is in the pending state, the answer is no.
  • This is because during the pending stage, SellerLegend obtains the fees from the Amazon Fee Preview report, which does not contain VAT.
  • Please see the following Knowledge Base article for a full explanation.

• For shipped orders, SellerLegend obtains the fees directly from Amazon’s financial transactions and they are exactly as charged.
• Therefore:
  • If you are not VAT registered, these fees will contain VAT, as you are deemed to be a consumer and VAT on digital services is chargeable to consumers
  • If you are VAT registered, the fees won’t contain VAT as no VAT is chargeable on digital services to businesses, and the fact that you do have a VAT number qualifies you as a business.
