Where are Amazon FBA’s European warehouses located in context of the necessity to calculate VAT?
Amazon is a major player in the European e-commerce market and one of the largest trading platforms globally, with an extensive network of warehouses across Europe. This strategically positioned distribution center network facilitates swift product delivery to customers, while also carrying significant implications for VAT calculations.
When engaging in online sales, adherence to applicable regulations is essential to ensure compliance with tax requirements within European markets.
The impact of Amazon FBA warehouse locations in Europe on VAT Calculation
Amazon operates numerous Fulfillment Centers throughout Europe, with their placement strategically tailored to accommodate customer needs in various countries. The location of Amazon warehouses significantly influences where and to what extent VAT should be levied. Should the seller use Amazon’s warehousing services, the sale of goods physically stored in a specific warehouse and delivered to an end customer within the same country is considered a domestic transaction. Consequently, VAT should be calculated according to the prevailing rates of that respective country.
Below, we have provided the Amazon warehouse locations in Europe, spanning countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

It is worth noting that Amazon regularly expands its network of warehouses, so the list of locations may change. Before making any decisions related to warehousing and taxes, it is advisable to consult the current information available on Amazon’s website and possibly your tax advisor.
When selling on Amazon’s platform, there are also certain programs, such as the ‘FBA Program (Fulfillment by Amazon), which allow sellers to store and deliver goods via Amazon’s logistics infrastructure. In this case, Amazon can handle the logistics, but the VAT burden and tax compliance remain the seller’s responsibility.
For in-depth information on the extensive opportunities offered by the FBA program, please feel free to get in touch with us. Our team of qualified specialists is at your disposal, ready to provide comprehensive information and answer any questions you may have.
In addition, amavat® recognises all relevant issues related to Amazon sales in the EU and has experience working with several online retailers. Please contact amavat® today to ensure that issues with VAT do not affect your growth plan.
