Anyone seen this before? I’m in the UK and only sell in the UK?
I just received the same information.
Selling only in UK and Europe.
Thanks

Yes, but for those selling to US marketplace, it just requires to complete details, it will need to be done regularly. In my view, nothing to worry about.

Have you checked to see if you have an usa account opened?

I’ve never opened one. I only sell on European marketplaces.
I just got off the phone to account health, needs to be filled out even if you are not a US resident.
Every 3 years it expires, it’s a W-8BEN form that Amazon need from us to be exempt from US tax reporting.

If you have an account in the US, I would advise you to close it. I think it is for the US market and you mentioned you are only selling in the UK. To keep this US account open might cause a deactivation in US and UK account will also deactivate after the US one.
And I think you can open US account again, if you want but you will have to complete all the verifications again.

I just done mine now.
How do you do this? Can I download from the form from the Internet and fill in or does it require a us accountant?
Amazon seller central will let you know, it will pop up in yellow. All you do is put your company name, where you live and then sign with your name.
Hello anyone has any update on this please? would this cause any issues in the future if we fill out the w8? need you guidance here
A W-8 form is something that can be filled by everyone. It is basically a declaration from you to state that you are not an US citizen and you are not a taxable person in that country.
