Checklist
- Consistent data. Name, address and business structure identical on Amazon, your documents and your tax records.
- Verification up to date. Valid, legible documents (documents and rejection causes).
- VAT in order. VAT numbers where you hold stock and returns filed (Pan-EU FBA).
- One account per person or business, unless Amazon expressly allows another.
- Watch notices. Check Seller Central daily and reply within the deadline.
- Report structure changes. If you move from sole trader to company, update the account.
If you receive a notice
Do not reply in a rush or blindly: identify the cause and prepare a plan (Plan of Action).
Monthly habits that lower the risk
- Check the account status in Seller Central and handle any alert the same day.
- Reconcile Amazon VAT reports with your returns before closing each period.
- Check that your verification documents do not expire this quarter.
- Note any change of address, owner or structure and update it in the account at the same time as with the tax authority.
- Keep a record of who has access to the account and with which permissions.
If you hold stock in several countries, start by checking where you need VAT with FBA Pan-EU. It is the notice trigger you can best prevent in advance.
