Problem with VAT ID

[RamonaDesignArt]

Hi! I entered my tax number in the "Update your primary taxpayer info" section. I got an email saying the change was successful. But when I look at the settings again, I see that the VAT ID related sections are still empty. I do not sell from the USA.

you have to put your 2 character country code , as the first part of the vat code

to make sure it is correct, you can check it here - it's where etsy would check it

Yes, even though I added the country abbreviation, there is no change. "You have successfully updated your taxpayer ID on Etsy to." I received a written email. But when I look back where I made changes from the settings, it still says "Taxpayer ID: Not on file".

You don't have any sellers detia;ls,

you need to put your address, and e-mail address in too - have you tried a browser, not the app?

I am a seller from Túrkiye, I have similar problems. Is there a similar link to check vat id

Hi Ramona, I sorted it out, I had the same issue. Try to access your etsy account from an incognito window. It worked for me, It must be a cookie related issue on the browser.

@RamonaDesignArt You say you 'do not sell from the USA' but your shop location says US???

Your Taxpayer ID and VAT numbers are different things (I think) - maybe you are getting them confused??

I don't know how it works in the US, but in the UK we only have to register for VAT once our yearly revenue goes above £85k

[FilipArtLaboratory]

Same problem here. All i get is email from Etsy saying  "You have successfully updated your taxpayer ID on Etsy to." (empty space here, no number) and on website its not changing at all.

Hi Did you solve the problem ? Actually I have same problem and I didn't understand how to handle on it 

[HelloSingularity]

I had the same problem. You have to go to Legal and tax information -> edit. Then Edit taxplayer ID -> fill the number -> click Save and upload document. Then you are send back to Legal and tax information page, scroll down and click Submit button.

Previously I din't submit whole operation, received an email "You have successfully updated your taxpayer ID..." but nothing actually happened.
