The March 2023 gap that left EU buyers without a first-party VAT export
Amazon discontinued the Order History Reporter in March 2023. The replacement, a privacy data-request flow that arrives 24 to 72 hours after you ask for it, returns a sprawling JSON archive that does not break out VAT for the buyer. For most personal accounts there is no equivalent to the old comma-separated export of orders with their VAT lines split out, which is why the workflow has shifted over to clicking through the order-detail page for every receipt.
That is fine for a handful of orders and unworkable for a year. Order History Downloader fills the gap by reading the same detail pages your browser already renders and pulling the locale-specific VAT line into a structured row. Nothing leaves the browser. Nothing is uploaded. The extension uses the Amazon session you already have open.
The 8 European Amazon storefronts covered for VAT
VAT coverage spans the seven EU storefronts where Amazon runs a regional site (DE, FR, IT, ES, NL, PL, SE) plus the United Kingdom. Each storefront is matched to its native currency and to the tax label Amazon prints on the receipt for that market, so the right column lands in the CSV no matter which tab you happened to be shopping from.
| Storefront | Market | Currency | Tax label on the receipt |
|---|---|---|---|
| amazon.co.uk | United Kingdom | GBP | VAT |
| amazon.de | Germany | EUR | MwSt |
| amazon.fr | France | EUR | TVA |
| amazon.it | Italy | EUR | IVA |
| amazon.es | Spain | EUR | IVA |
| amazon.nl | Netherlands | EUR | BTW |
| amazon.pl | Poland | PLN | VAT |
| amazon.se | Sweden | SEK | moms |
Locale-aware VAT label recognition
The detail-page parser does not look for a single English string. On amazon.de it expects Mehrwertsteuer or its short form MwSt. On amazon.fr it reads TVA. On Italian and Spanish receipts the line is IVA. The Dutch storefront prints BTW, and the Swedish one prints moms. The UK and Polish sites both use VAT. Each variant maps to the same row in the export, with the source language preserved as metadata so accountants know what they are looking at later.
Because the recognition runs against the live receipt, prices are read in their native format too. The parser handles US-style $1,234.56 and EU-style 1.234,56 € without confusing the thousands separator and the decimal mark. That defensive parsing matters once a single CSV mixes orders from amazon.de and amazon.co.uk.
Tax-label cheat sheet
- MwSt, Mehrwertsteuer (Germany)
- TVA, Taxe sur la valeur ajoutée (France, Belgium, Luxembourg)
- IVA, Imposta sul valore aggiunto (Italy) / Impuesto sobre el valor añadido (Spain)
- BTW, Belasting over de toegevoegde waarde (Netherlands)
- moms, Mervärdesskatt (Sweden)
- VAT, Value Added Tax (United Kingdom, Poland)
Per-currency Σ row, with no exchange-rate fakery
The viewer's Σ row groups subtotals by currency in a stable order: GBP, then EUR, then PLN, then SEK, then anything else alphabetical. A row in PLN sits in its own bucket. A row in SEK sits in its own bucket. Nothing is silently converted to a single “total spend” number, because that number would only ever be a snapshot of yesterday's exchange rate dressed up as a fact.
For an EU bookkeeper reconciling client spend across three storefronts, the per-currency split lines up directly with the way bank statements arrive. Currency conversion is intentionally out of scope.
Example Σ row (illustrative)
Bulk PDF for VAT-bearing receipts
The bulk-PDF flow is the one accountants reach for first. After an import finishes, the viewer lets you tick the rows that actually carry a VAT line, hit Bulk PDF, and watch a progress modal stream the receipts through into a single ZIP. The reference figure is roughly 50 invoices in about 30 seconds, which lines up with the way a year of personal Amazon spend tends to break down once you filter out the gift-card orders.
Filenames inside the ZIP keep their Amazon-issued form, so the archive matches the audit trail any tax authority would expect to see. Selection is sticky: if you check 18 rows on the screen, the export uses those 18 rows and nothing else. The full bulk-PDF playbook lives on the dedicated bulk Amazon invoice download page, which walks through the keyboard-shortcut and selection patterns in more detail.
EU Amazon Business buyer workflow
Amazon Business accounts in the EU receive a slightly different invoice from the personal storefront. The seller VAT number, the buyer VAT number, and the country-of-supply line all sit on the receipt already. Order History Downloader reads the same page either way; the per-row export carries extra fields when they are present. There is no separate “Business mode” toggle and no separate sign-in flow.
For a small consultancy buying from amazon.fr and amazon.it on the same business account, that maps to a workflow where one import yields one CSV with both currencies and both tax labels intact. A bookkeeper looking at the file later sees TVA on the French rows and IVA on the Italian rows, with the underlying amount preserved. The viewer's account dropdown also handles the case where the same browser is signed into a personal account and a business account; each row is tagged to its account so re-imports never overwrite the wrong side of the line.
Note: this page describes how the extension extracts invoice data. It is not tax or legal advice. Confirm the resulting CSV with your accountant or tax authority before filing.
The export workflow
Three things happen in order. The popup asks for a date range and a per-field opt-in matrix where the VAT field shows its own time cost, on the order of +1.5 seconds per order. A floating chip in the corner of the page then tracks progress as the import walks the orders list and the detail pages, and the viewer opens in a new tab once the rows are ready to be filtered, ticked, and exported. The wider walkthrough lives on the parent format hub at download Amazon order history.
The extension UI ships in eight languages
The Order History Downloader interface is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, and Swedish. The popup, the floating progress chip, and the viewer all follow the browser's default UI language across those eight locales. Locale-aware tax-label recognition runs against every one of those receipt languages.

Frequently asked questions
Can I download Amazon VAT invoices in bulk?
Yes. Run an import in Order History Downloader on any of the eight European Amazon storefronts, select the VAT-bearing rows in the viewer, and click "Bulk PDF." The export streams every VAT invoice into a single ZIP with the original filenames preserved.
Which European Amazon storefronts does Order History Downloader cover for VAT?
Eight European Amazon storefronts: amazon.co.uk (UK), .de (DE), .fr (FR), .it (IT), .es (ES), .nl (NL), .pl (PL), and .se (SE). Each storefront is recognised with its native VAT label and currency. (Order History Downloader covers eighteen Amazon storefronts in total; the eight European ones are where VAT applies.)
Does Order History Downloader recognise MwSt, TVA, IVA, BTW, and moms?
Yes. The detail-page parser is locale-aware and recognises every VAT label across the eight European Amazon storefronts: VAT (UK / PL), MwSt (DE), TVA (FR), IVA (ES / IT), BTW (NL), and moms (SE).
Does the export combine multi-currency totals?
No, and that's deliberate. Order History Downloader never silently converts between currencies. The viewer's Σ row groups subtotals per currency in a stable order so a multi-currency total is never fudged with a stale exchange rate.
Is Amazon Business required to download VAT invoices with this extension?
No. Order History Downloader uses your existing Amazon session, whether you're on a personal or Amazon Business account, and reads the same invoice pages your browser already renders.
