Who this book is for?
UK sellers using Amazon FBA who are weighing Pan-EU up, have been offered it, or have already turned it on and are not certain what followed.
Anyone about to enable it
The programme lowers your fulfilment fee per unit and creates five VAT registrations. Chapter eight does the division: below roughly three hundred EU units a month it costs more than it saves.
Anyone who has already ticked it
Registration is usually backdated to when your stock arrived, so the exposure is real and it grows while you decide. Chapter eleven sets out the order to fix it in, and why disclosing beats being found.
Sellers relying on the ten thousand euro threshold
It is available to businesses established in one member state. A UK company has no EU establishment, so it never applies at any level of sales. Most of what is written about it was written for somebody else.
FACTS
What Pan-EU costs before it saves you anything
Five registrations at £350, then £120 a month each. That is £8,950 in the first year, arriving whether you sell anything or not, against a fulfilment saving of about £2.50 a unit.

FACTS
Why Amazon collecting the VAT does not help
It accounts for the output tax and leaves the registration, the filings and the stock movement reporting exactly where they were. Sellers who stop filing accrue penalties on nil returns.
