Taxes and Regulations for Amazon Global Selling

As you expand your Amazon business globally, it is critical to understand the specific tax and regulatory regulations of each market in which you wish to operate. Each country has legal, intellectual property and product safety requirements that must be met. In Europe, for example, the main tax system is VAT (Value Added Tax), which applies to goods and services sold or consumed in the local market.

To sell in Europe, it is necessary to register for a VAT number and meet all compliance requirements related to importing, issuing invoices, and reporting sales. Distance selling regulations are another important aspect to consider, as they require VAT registration in multiple countries if established sales thresholds are exceeded. In addition to tax considerations, sellers must comply with environmental, health, and safety regulations, including REACH, WEEE, and electronic product and battery compliance.
