Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many overseas sellers on Amazon and Ebay have registered for VAT in the last three months; and what proportion of those HMRC are investigating for undisclosed VAT.
This question was answered on 6th November 2017
HMRC cannot comment on the affairs of individual taxpayers, as it has a duty to maintain taxpayer confidentiality.
Overall, 8,340 overseas online sellers have registered for VAT in the last 3 months. HMRC monitor these to assess whether any require further investigation.
