Hi I am individual seller on Amazon and noon but not exceeding threshold of 187,500 but Amazon need to send tax invoice to customer. Please advise what should I do with this issue.
Being an individual, you must register for VAT before start selling in UAE via Amazon or Noon. VAT registration for Amazon sellers who are individual is mandatory before selling anything. The VAT registration threshold limit is for the companies in UAE who have business license.
Hi
I have an Amazon account haven’t uploaded any products or made any sales but it states am required to update my vat number. I have a free zone business license, just starting out and don’t think my threshold will be more than the required figures
Being an individual or a foreign entity, you must register for VAT before start selling in UAE through Amazon or Noon or any other online platform.
The required VAT Registration thresholds are for businesses who have UAE business license. You need to sign up as a UAE business.
Thank you.
