Extremely disappointing service.

Extremely disappointing service.

We have 6 VAT registrations with AVASK, including registrations and ongoing filings, and the support is completely unacceptable. Response times to tickets are between 3 weeks and 1 month, which is outrageous for a company handling tax compliance.

Our Spanish VAT number took 18 months to obtain, which already caused major business delays.

Now our Italian VAT number has been deactivated, AVASK forced us to redo all the documents from scratch, and we urgently need proof of submission to the Italian Tax Authority to provide to Amazon. Despite multiple urgent follow-ups, AVASK simply does not respond.

Their lack of responsiveness is now putting our Amazon account at risk.

For a firm claiming to specialize in VAT compliance, this level of service is completely unacceptable.

Dear Killian,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to read about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation has been, especially given its impact on your VAT compliance.

We would like to clarify that VAT registration timelines are determined by the respective local Tax Authorities and fall outside of AVASK’s direct control. This applies to all jurisdictions, including Spain, where processing times can vary significantly depending on the authority’s internal procedures. We recognise the disruption caused by extended timelines and understand your frustration.

In Italy, recent regulatory changes have led to the deregistration of VAT numbers for thousands of Amazon sellers. This is an external issue not initiated or controlled by AVASK. Our VAT compliance team is working with the Italian authorities to support restoration of affected registrations. We acknowledge this does not lessen your frustration, especially when proof of submission is required by Amazon.

We take your feedback seriously and want to review your case urgently. We have requested your contact details via Trustpilot. To expedite the investigation, please also include your company name and ticket numbers in this request.

Once we have these details, we will prioritise your case and reach out to you directly. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,
Mariana

Unauthorized charges

I called and sent emails on February 1, 2026, that we would no longer be using their services. We still got charged so an attempt was made via phone to get resolution - no answer. My initial contact for cancellation was in January but I gave them time to respond.
For over a month now we've been trying to make contact for my 2nd attempt but no one answers.
Their business model seems to be to profit from unauthorized charges and ignore people who seek to cancel due to unsatisfactory performance.

Dear Noir Crochet Needles,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are very sorry to read about the frustration this situation has caused you.

We apologise for the difficulties you’ve encountered when attempting to cancel your services and for the subsequent charges that you believe should not have occurred. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we fully understand how concerning it is to feel that your communications have not been acknowledged.

We have requested your contact details via Trustpilot. Please include any ticket numbers with your response. Once received, we will review your case and ensure the appropriate next steps are taken.

Kind regards,
Mariana

Very disappointing experience

Very disappointing experience. We paid for a VAT registration service in Italy and remained blocked for months with no results. After contacting the Italian tax authorities directly, we discovered that the correct application had never been properly submitted. This caused significant operational disruption and financial damage. Poor communication and lack of accountability. Not recommended.

PS: you didn't escalate nothing, 4 days l m waiting for an answer to my ticket. What a joke.

We would appreciate the opportunity to review your case in detail, clarify what occurred, and address any outstanding issues.

Modern Day Torture

As many already have said, communication is dreadful, but this is the least of their problems...

It has been 1337 days since AVASK failed to advise of our Spanish VAT filing, and emails are falling on def ears (each of the 3 or 4 point of contacts we've been assigned to say they are 'looking into it').... 3 and a half years....

They changed their Spanish VAT provider, but failed to notify us, meaning our Spanish VAT number became invalid in the VIES database - causing Amazon to see it as invalid. Of course AVASK still charge for Spanish VAT services...

When we changed business address, they only updates 2 of the 7 countries they represent us for VAT....so addresses now mismatch on Amazon.

AVASK are not a serious accounting firm. They are not a member of a regulatory accounting body, and I understand why. I can't imagine the volume of complaints they would receive.

Instead, AVASK are the modern equivalent of Medievil Torture. Never ending promises of resolutions, convoluted and ever changing procedures for contacting and raising queries. Very easy tasks drawn out and complicated.

I would only recommend AVASK to my very worst of enemies. Sadly, I am so intwined with me European taxes I can't leave. It is too late for me.

UPDATE: No surprises, but within hours of this being published AVASK have asked for information so they can assist. I have low expectations that it will be fixed, but they clearly care more about their public image than their customers.

I had an outstanding experience working with Ellen Roberts on our French VAT registration. From start to finish, she was responsive, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. The entire process moved much faster than we expected, and Ellen kept us informed every step of the way.

Her communication was clear, professional, and proactive, which gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled properly. Receiving our FR VAT number so quickly was a huge milestone for our business, and Ellen made it seamless.

It was a pleasure working together, and we look forward to continuing the relationship.

A company that seems to have totally lost its way - Amazon sellers beware!

I’ve used them for a few years without issue, but the last couple of months have been awful.
I pay them for one service: to keep me VAT compliant in the EU. They have failed to do that.
I now have an Italian VAT number that is invalid, and Amazon is suspending my services. AVASK can’t even provide proof that they have submitted the correct documentation to the Italian tax authorities, eight weeks after I sent them the requested forms. Multiple sellers appear to be in the same position. Avask knew what IT VAT rule changes were coming as they did a webinar for their customers last summer, but seem to have just failed to act.
This isn’t just lost revenue while it gets sorted. It’s a drop in Amazon sales rank and long term damage to ranks that took years to build (assuming Amazon doesn't totally shut me down!)
Their communication is awful from top to bottom. No acknowledgement from senior management for six weeks. Account managers don’t respond. The support portal ignores tickets, then closes them once a month and tells you to contact your account manager — who then ignores it.
And just to be clear, this is their “VAT Premium Support”. A total joke when it comes to communication.
I won’t even go into the misinformation I’ve been given on multiple issues (lies?). They are simply not to be trusted.
The accounts department isn’t much better. Trying to get a credit note for an incorrect invoice, after months of chasing and multiple phone calls, resulted in two new invoices being created and three credit notes to cancel them all. Incompetent.
Why 2 stars and not 1?
Their export broker service has run smoothly for me. But if things don’t improve soon, I’ll be downgrading the whole review to 1 star.

Dear Ian,
Thank you for your feedback. We completely understand how serious this situation is for your business, especially with the impact it may have on your Amazon account and sales ranking.

We would like to clarify that the issue with the Italian VAT number is not due to a failure to submit documentation on our side. The delay and current irregularity stem from an issue within the Italian Tax Authority (Agenzia delle Entrate), which has affected multiple VAT registrations.

That said, we understand that this does not lessen the impact on you. For this reason, we are escalating the matter internally to ensure we provide you with a clear update on the submission status and the next steps as soon as possible.

We also acknowledge your concerns regarding communication and support, and these are being reviewed internally.

We appreciate your continued trust and your positive comments about the export broker service. Our focus now is to resolve this matter promptly and provide you with the clarity you need.

Kind regards,
Giulia

Compliance Provider That Caused Compliance Penalties

I rarely write negative reviews, but my experience with AVASK has been extremely disappointing and costly.

In 2024, AVASK failed to submit one of my mandatory compliance reports on time. As a result, I had to pay a penalty to the authorities. This was not a minor issue — it was a direct consequence of their missed reporting obligation.

Unfortunately, the situation repeated itself in 2026.

First, they failed to forward an official authority invoice to me on time. Instead of notifying me immediately, they later sent both the original invoice and a second invoice that already included a penalty. This lack of timely communication directly caused additional financial damage.

Second, I have repeatedly requested access credentials for the compliance portal they used to file reports on my behalf. Despite multiple follow-ups, I still do not have the login details. Their response times are extremely slow, and due to these delays, compliance deadlines have been missed again.

For a company that positions itself as a compliance and regulatory specialist, missing deadlines and withholding access credentials is unacceptable.

Compliance is time-sensitive and critical. When your service provider causes penalties and delays instead of preventing them, that is a serious problem.

Hello Saad,
thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to read about your experience and understand how frustrating and concerning this situation must be, especially when it involves compliance deadlines and financial penalties.

Regarding the 2024 and 2026 reporting issues, as well as the delayed forwarding of the authority invoice, we are escalating your case internally for a thorough review. We want to clearly understand what happened at each stage and ensure appropriate corrective measures are taken.

Concerning access to the compliance portal credentials, you are absolutely right, transparency and timely access are essential. We are requesting an immediate update from the responsible team so this can be resolved without further delay.

We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused and are committed to resolving this as a priority.

Terrible service

Terrible service. Lack of responsibility. No SLAs in place. Customer support does not exist cause they reply in 2-3 days with promise that got your request and will review it soonest possible which never comes.
UPDATE: No improvement and no change after few emails and support tuckets opened. 2 months later no clear info, nor concrete deadlines for solving the issue. Asked for having at least proof of submission on their side - no luck as well. Immediately after rating left only got request for a call to discuss roots for the low rating left on Trust Pilot. Seems like this is of the greatest importance for them. @ Trust Pilot - since you care so much for ratings you should start care for your customers while solving their issues.
