Amazon VAT Disputes: A Growing Challenge for Sellers

One of our recent clients, a European-based company, was suddenly informed by Amazon that it was not properly established for VAT purposes in the EU. Despite being VAT registered and compliant in multiple EU countries, Amazon began:

  • Withholding VAT on future sales
  • Demanding repayment of VAT on past sales dating back to 2021
  • Freezing trading accounts across multiple regions

The result? A complete halt in operations and a severe cash flow crisis.

Our client tried to resolve the issue directly with Amazon—but couldn’t get through. That’s when they turned to Altion Law.

How Altion Law Helped

We stepped in to liaise directly with Amazon’s legal team. After presenting clear evidence of our client’s VAT compliance, we successfully:

Lifted all trading account blocks
Revoked the demand for backdated VAT
Restored normal trading operations

Amazon ceased all further attempts to collect VAT from our client’s sales.

HMRC VAT Disputes: Don’t Face Them Alone
