Overview

Amazon has enlarged the roster of tax service firms available through its VAT Services on Amazon program, adding new partners such as AVASK alongside the existing J&P Accountants and TB Accountants. The change, rolled out in early 2024, gives European‑focused sellers more options for handling VAT registration and periodic filing, which can simplify multi‑country compliance and reduce administrative overhead.

Key Points

• Expanded provider lineup — AVASK joins J&P Accountants and TB Accountants, giving sellers three vetted choices for VAT registration and filing across the EU.
• Wider registration and filing coverage — All three providers now support initial VAT registration and ongoing monthly or quarterly filings in major markets including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
• Side‑by‑side comparison tool — The VAT Services portal displays each partner’s country coverage, service scope, and fee structure, allowing sellers to compare options before committing.
• Transfer capability without disruption — Sellers who already have VAT registrations with an external advisor can move those accounts to a new Amazon‑approved partner through the portal, preserving compliance history.
• Pricing transparency — Each provider lists its base fee for registration and a per‑filing charge, so sellers can model costs for a 10‑SKU, 5‑country launch versus a 200‑SKU, 12‑country expansion.
• Dedicated Amazon expertise — All partners have proven experience with Amazon seller accounts, meaning they understand inventory‑location rules, FBA storage tax implications, and the One‑Stop‑Shop (OSS) reporting requirements.

How the Program Works

1. Access the VAT Services portal — After logging into Seller Central, navigate to the “VAT Services on Amazon” section; the dashboard automatically filters providers based on the seller’s selected European regions.
2. Review provider profiles — Each profile shows a matrix of supported countries, a summary of services (registration, filing, fiscal representation), and a clear price table; for example, AVASK lists €250 for initial registration in Germany plus €45 per quarterly filing.
