My account has been reactivated, but Amazon can’t provide me with the warehouse address. What should I do?
They wrote the following:

"When you enable inventory storage in the UK, your products will be stored across multiple warehouses in the UK, and the address of the warehouse will only be available when you create a shipment."

I don’t think Amazon will allow me to create a shipment without VAT.

Register for VAT?

Register for VAT?

Yes, I’m preparing to register, but the service provider has asked me to provide a warehouse address. I find this a bit puzzling. May I ask if you have already registered for VAT, and is this indeed the correct procedure?

but the service provider

Who/what service provider?

You are supplying no real information and asking questions that we cannot help with.

Could your answer be 42?

…but the service provider…

What service provider? What service are they providing?

It sounds like you are trying to use FBA in the UK. If you are not based in the UK you will need to register for VAT first. This is the same for everyone - if you are storing inventory outside of your own country, then you must be VAT registered.

You can do this via Seller Central and Amazon will connect you with a 3rd-party partner like Avask or Taxually. Amazon will often subsidise/pay for the registration cost and a year of returns. You then manage your VAT returns via Seller Central. Go to:

Seller Central
Cog (top right)
Tax Settings
Under 3. VAT registration, option 1 click on "Click here for more information on VAT compliance support"
Scroll down to see the providers

The warehouse address has nothing to do with this. When you book a shipment into FBA Amazon will tell you where the goods are going based on their size and where they are coming from. For parcels, there can be several different addresses so not sure what you mean by this. You need to get VAT registered first or you won't be able to do anything.
