Amazon VAT refund

Question

Hello,

I recently made some business purchases via Amazon.com.be. However, their processing of vAT-free purchases is rather cumbersome and almost impossible to enter. First, you pay the full amount including VAT, and then you get the difference in VAT back from them. But here’s the thing: they don’t issue a credit note for this! You just get an invoice with the amount excluding VAT. The original invoice with VAT included is nowhere to be found.

From an accounting point of view, this makes it rather difficult to enter everything correctly (especially with the new Dexxter bank integration). This makes it impossible to correctly enter the total amount that was paid.

Anyone else here with the same problem?

You can create a business account, then the VAT will be reversed. That seems a bit simpler to me.

Hi MC,

Of course I did that, otherwise I wouldn't get any vAT back from them in the first place
