Closed Stop the £billion VAT Fraud on eBay & Amazon by Chinese, NON EU & UK businesses

Closed on

£billions is being laundered out of the UK by NON EU companies on eBay & Amazon. UK fulfilment centres are dispatching their stock.

eBay, Paypal & Amazon must be forced to verify & display ALL business sellers details; company name, address & VAT status

NON EU sellers must display VAT numbers

NON EU companies supplying goods located in the UK are required to register for UK VAT. There is no VAT threshold. www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/vatregmanual/VATREG37050.htm

However, thousands are trading on eBay & Amazon, using UK fulfilment centres such as Amazon, without being VAT registered or having their company & VAT information verified. www.vatfraud.org

The government will generate £billions in revenue & legitimate VAT registered companies will stop going bankrupt when this fraud is stopped
