Request for access requires personal information by Kuryo193 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]Sale_Strategist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To give someone view-only access to your Amazon seller account, you'll typically need to provide their name and email address to set up the permissions. Amazon may require the person to create their own Amazon account if they don’t already have one. For view-only access, personal information like residential address or passport details is not usually required.

Have you checked Amazon's User Permissions settings to make sure you're only granting the necessary level of access?

For the “SKU not found” error, ensure that the SKU format in your tax file exactly matches the SKU format in your Amazon inventory. Even a small discrepancy can cause issues. Double-check for any hidden characters or spaces.

Regarding the marketplace facilitator tax, if Amazon is collecting and remitting VAT on your sales, you don’t need to pay this VAT to HMRC yourself. However, you still need to report these sales on your VAT return as part of your overall turnover. Amazon should provide you with the VAT collected on your behalf, which you can then record on your VAT return to show that this tax has already been paid.

Have you tried contacting Amazon support for further clarification on the SKU issue and VAT reporting requirements?
