In the European Union, Value Added Tax (VAT) will be charged for books sold on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.es, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.nl, Amazon.pl, and Amazon.se. The VAT rate applied depends on the type of book (notebooks, coloring books, etc.), the purchasing customer’s country or region of residence and local VAT laws.

As a result, as you set up your book's list price you’ll see an estimated VAT rate based on the type of book you are publishing (notebooks, coloring books, etc.). After the book is published, we will automatically add the applicable VAT rate to your selected list price, and will then display the customer retail price (including VAT) on the customer "Order Summary" during checkout.

We will use the list price that you provide to calculate royalties on your book’s sales. You'll be able to see your list price and an estimated VAT inclusive list price for the primary country/region in each marketplace on the Royalty & Pricing section of the Paperback Rights & Pricing tab.

Keep in mind that if you set your EU list prices to automatically calculate from your U.S. list price, we will automatically add the applicable VAT rate to the calculated EU list price.
