So, why did Amazon decide to start collecting sales tax after fighting it for so many years: Because they realized that they could make billions of dollars in profits by doing so. Besides charging 2.9% to collect and pay sales tax for sellers– Amazon ALSO adds sales tax to the total sales price BEFORE charging Seller fees.The average seller fee is 15%. So each time a seller makes a sale, Amazon adds the sales tax then charges the Seller fee on the total sales including the sales tax. No wonder they suddenly decided to take on sales Tax!!

Hi! Thank you for this post, it’s very helpful.

I’m a new Amazon seller and sales tax is very new to me, so just to confirm: due to Marketplace facilitator legislation, Amazon will be responsible to collect and remit sales tax in those states where these laws apply. As a seller, even if I have physical nexus in some of these states (I.e. home state or states where our inventory is located with FBA), I don’t need to do anything (not even to register for a sellers permit). Is this right?

I’m confused because seller forums say to register on your home state only, while tax platforms say to also enroll in states where your fba inventory is located (which could be in some many states)

Some guidance here would be really appreciated!

Thank you
