Effective as of January 1, 2025, we’ll change the format of invoice numbers created by VAT Calculation Services.

This change will shorten invoice numbers to 14 characters, which will help Amazon Business customers to manage invoices more efficiently in their accounting systems. Invoice numbers will continue to be unique and sequential.

If you’re enrolled in VAT Calculation Services and we create invoices on your behalf, we encourage you to check whether this change affects your processes and make any necessary adjustments before January 1, 2025.
