FAQ
When is VAT registration required?
If you sell to UK customers through Amazon (FBA or FBM), you must register for UK VAT immediately—there is no sales threshold. Sterling & Wells handles your registration to ensure full compliance.
Doesn’t Amazon handle VAT for me?
Not entirely. As a designated Online Marketplace (OMP), Amazon collects VAT on some sales, but you remain responsible for VAT registration, recordkeeping, filing, and reclaiming VAT on fees and imports. Sterling & Wells ensures full compliance accurately and on time.
What is Postponed VAT Accounting (PVA), and should I use it?
PVA lets you delay paying import VAT by including it in your VAT return, helping cash flow—especially useful for stock sent to UK Amazon fulfillment centers. Our team can help you set up and manage PVA correctly to take full advantage.
What happens if I don’t comply with VAT rules?
Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines, interest, and even Amazon account suspension. HMRC audits are rising, so proper compliance is essential. Sterling & Wells ensures your business meets all requirements.
Can I reclaim VAT on Amazon seller fees and other expenses?
Yes, but only if you’re VAT registered, and your records meet HMRC’s standards. Amazon now charges 20% VAT on seller fees, and this can add up quickly. Sterling & Wells makes sure your invoices, reports, and bookkeeping are audit-ready—so you recover every eligible penny.
