Referral Fees
Amazon UK referral fees are separate from VAT obligations. VAT-registered sellers collect tax from buyers and remit to HMRC — it does not increase Amazon fees directly.

UK VAT registration is mandatory once taxable UK supplies exceed £85,000. The VAT OSS scheme allows one registration for both UK and EU VAT. Amazon FBA can simplify compliance through their VAT calculation service.
