amazon.co.uk legit account being non UK citizen
 

Dear readers,
Because i live in Lithuania I cannot(maybe) register in co.uk where they dont require VAT number as opposite to .com

Is it possible to register co.uk and enter UK's valid info, such as bank account, address etc? After being there and registering, could I come back to sell in Lithuania permanently as resident?

Any info is much appreciated.
THANK YOU!

You don't need to be VAT registered to sell on .co.uk. Where do you get the 20% advantage from. VAT rate is 20% in UK. Its foreign sellers who ship from outside have the advantage as they don't have to account for the 20% VAT if there individual sales are less than £18.00.

Thats what I mean, I cannot register on amazon.co.uk because I am resident Of Lithuania.
And thats why I can only register in .com , where they ask VAT number...

If i go to UK, open bank account, get a phone number and return to lithuania. Would that work?

As long as you use a VPS or VPN service for your IP. .com don't ask for a VAT number.
