Sales Tax for Amazon Sellers
Understanding Multi-Channel Sales Tax Compliance
If you're selling on platforms other than Amazon, it's crucial to understand your sales tax obligations. Your requirement to collect sales tax depends on your sales volume in each state, which varies by state thresholds. These thresholds may include a combination of sales and order counts, considering your Amazon sales as part of the calculation.
The Importance of Filing Zero Sales Tax Returns
Registering with the state for a seller’s permit is a common requirement, even if Amazon handles your sales tax. This registration often necessitates filing zero sales tax returns if you are an Amazon-only seller, ensuring compliance with state regulations. Multi-channel sellers must report non-Amazon sales according to state-specific requirements.
