Amazon EU: Only 60 days left to Upload your Austrian VAT Registration
Amazon – Request from Amazon Sellers to present their VAT registration number for Austria
Following up on Amazon’s August email, there are now only 60 days left to upload your Austrian VAT registration on Seller Central!
The Austrian Tax Authorities have requested from all Amazon sellers in Austria to upload their VAT registrations on Amazon as under the Austrian Digital Tax Act they need to have access to all Amazon Sellers transactional data if they are selling to Austrian customers.
Amazon has informed its sellers to do so before the end of 2020 in order not to have their selling privileges in Austria suspended.
When do you need to have a VAT number in Austria?
The transactions that are subject to Austrian VAT and trigger a VAT registration obligation are listed below:
- You are established in Austria and make taxable supplies in excess of €30k per year
- You are established outside of Austria and store goods in Austria for sale to customers
- You make distance sales of goods to customers in Austria, delivered from another EU country and the value of these sales exceed €35k in the current or prior year.
If you are not required to be registered in Austria with a VAT number you can provide Amazon with any other VAT registration number that you currently have in another EU member state.
