Whether Amazon are selling to the UK from their UK subsidiary or their Luxembourg subsidiary doesn't matter. There is no longer a VAT component in the prices. For example, if a business bought a ebook reference in April for £120 (=£100 + £20 VAT), they could reclaim the £20 of VAT paid to Amazon on their next VAT return. The same book bought in May for £120 (=£120 + £0 VAT) and they would not be able to reclaim any VAT, because no VAT was paid. |

I would hope they get it fixed within a week. I'll keep checking daily and see what happens.

Tax rates can change at any budget.
Each marketplace has different rates. I'm boggled it's not just typing a rate into a field for the marketplace! Even Sage Accounts had that per country, all of them, 25 years ago. |

I saw it on every book I looked at on amazon.co.uk. Perhaps because Jon and I are in the US?

Includes VAT is there even if you are looking from the UK. So to most customers, it looks like VAT is being charged because the prices are still the same.

I'm glad to say that my PD titles are now showing as £0.77 at Amazon UK. This is certainly a change, as the lowest price allowed used to be higher than that.

@JSWolf: If that statement on the book list pages is what you are basing your argument on, then you don't know. What needs to happen is for someone using the Amazon UK store to buy a book and see what it lists the VAT at during the purchase. |
