# EU/UK VAT Transaction Types Explanations & Examples for VAT Jurisdiction Tracking

Explanations and examples of the EU and UK VAT transaction types used for VAT jurisdiction tracking.

When you turn on **VAT tracking** (**Track VAT by jurisdiction** in **Settings > VAT tracking**), we include details from Amazon's VAT Transactions Report (imported monthly), which allows you to map accounts and VAT codes based on jurisdiction and VAT details from the report. Here is some of the additional information you may see beyond your usual transaction types:

## Location Details

-   **\_Jurisdiction\_**: We add the country registrations you chose in **Settings > VAT tracking** (**VAT registration countries**) and include them in the specific transaction type if Amazon calculates this country as the taxable jurisdiction.
    
-   **\_Shipped to\_**: When Amazon is not able to calculate a taxable jurisdiction for the order (e.g., not registered for the VAT calculation service for the country) we add Shipped to XYZ country in the transaction type instead of the taxable jurisdiction. This country is the destination country in the Amazon transactions report.
    
-   **\_Shipped Outside UK:\_** Shipment has been exported outside UK. For Amazon.co.uk this shows as **Shipped Outside UK, Dispatched from UK** or **Shipped Outside UK, Dispatched from Outside UK**. These are generally Zero-rated.
    
-   **\_Export Outside EU:\_** Shipment has been exported outside EU. These are generally Zero-rated.
    

## Transaction Details

-   **\_No VAT\_**: No VAT applied by Amazon on Sale. For example, the transaction may be zero rated.
    
-   **\_B2B\_**: Sale was made to a VAT registered business buyer. These are generally Zero-rated.
    
-   **\_Amazon Responsible\_**: Amazon is responsible for remitting all VAT to the proper tax agency. These are generally Zero-rated.
    
-   **\_Seller Responsible:\_** Seller **\_is responsible for remitting all VAT to the proper tax agency.\_**
    

## VAT Transaction Type Examples

**\_Amazon.co.uk Order ItemPrice Principal | GB | Seller Responsible\_**

In this example, Amazon calculated the jurisdiction to be GB (United Kingdom), and the seller (not Amazon) is responsible for remitting the VAT to the proper tax authorities.

**\_Amazon.fr A-to-z Refund ItemPrice Principal | Export Outside EU\_**

In this example, the original shipment or this refund was exported outside of the EU.

**\_Amazon.co.uk Order ItemPrice Principal | Shipped to IT | No VAT\_**

If you are not registered for the Amazon VAT Calculation Service (VCS) or if Amazon was not able to calculate the taxable jurisdiction for any reason, we will use the destination country. In this example, the order destination was Italy, and there was no VAT calculated on the order.
