Overview

Amazon provides sales tax data across multiple seller reports, but understanding which report to use — and when — is essential for staying compliant. Whether you need to remit sales tax yourself or simply want to verify what Amazon has collected on your behalf, knowing where to find the right information can save you time and prevent costly errors.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Sales tax appears in multiple reports — The total sales tax calculated on an order is included in any seller report that contains order details, giving you a high-level summary across your transactions.
• Detailed tax breakdowns require a specific report — Tax calculation details such as rates and taxing jurisdictions are only available through the dedicated Sales Tax Report, not in standard order reports.
• Three distinct tax reports exist — Amazon offers a Tax Calculation Report (for your own remittance), a Marketplace Tax Collection report (informational only, showing what Amazon collects), and a combined report that reflects both.
• Marketplace Tax Collection reports are informational only — For orders shipped to states where Amazon collects and remits sales tax on your behalf, these reports should not be used for your own tax remittance.
• Professional selling plan required — Individual sellers are not eligible for the tax calculation service or sales tax reporting. You must be on a Professional selling plan to access these tools.
• Regional availability — Sales tax report generation is currently supported in select regions only, so not all sellers worldwide will have access to every report type.

How the Tax Reports Work

Amazon's tax reporting system is built around three core reports, each serving a different purpose. The Tax Calculation Report reflects jurisdiction-level information for taxes calculated on your orders based on your own tax calculation settings. This is the report you should rely on when you are responsible for remitting sales tax to state or local authorities. The Marketplace Tax Collection report, by contrast, is purely informational — it shows the sales tax that Amazon has collected and remitted on your behalf for orders going to states where marketplace facilitator laws apply. A third combined report merges both data sets, showing taxes calculated from your settings alongside taxes Amazon collected, but sellers should be careful not to double-count when using this report for accounting purposes.
