Change to digital services tax charges from October 1

On October 1, we’ll introduce a stand-alone digital services fee for digital services taxes (DST) implemented by the governments of the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Canada.

The typical DST rate is 2% in the UK and 3% in France, Italy, Spain and Canada. Since 2021, we’ve accounted for DST by increasing Selling on Amazon fees in the UK, France, Italy and Spain, and Fulfilment by Amazon fees in the UK and France. Starting on October 1, we’ll reduce these fees and account for this cost by introducing a stand-alone digital services fee.

DST charges are unpredictable as they vary based on the location of your business, the location of the buyer and other factors. Rather than base the stand-alone digital services fee on these location variables, which would create an unpredictable business impact because you can’t know the location of customers who will buy your products, we’ll introduce a fixed digital services fee only based on your location and the store in which you sell.

If your business is established in the UK, the digital services fee will apply as a percentage increase to Selling on Amazon fees and Fulfilment by Amazon fees. For example:

  • If your business is established in the UK and you sell a £15 item in the UK store, a 2% digital services fee will apply on your Selling on Amazon fees (£0.05 on £2.25) and Fulfilment by Amazon fees (£0.07 on £3.30) for sales starting on October 1.

If your business is established in France, Italy, Spain or Canada and you sell in the UK store, the digital services fee will apply as a percentage increase to Selling on Amazon fees and Fulfilment by Amazon fees (for France only). For example:

  • If your business is established in Italy and you sell a £15 item in the UK store, a 3% digital services fee will apply on your Selling on Amazon fees (£0.07 on £2.25) for sales starting on October 1.

To better help you understand how this fee will affect your business, including rates by country and more examples, go to Digital services fee.

Starting on September 1, you’ll be able to preview the fee in the Revenue Calculator and from October 1 you can track your digital services fees via the Transaction View in your Payments reports. If you use Pan-European FBA, the digital services fee will be accounted for in our free Automate Pricing tool starting on October 1.

Oh how kind of Amazon to pass these taxes on to us. Add this to Account level reserve and it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't it.

Seems pointless to be able to see how much the DST fee is going to be, when it's being applied to SOA and FBA fees that are apparently going to be reduced after 1st October.

This information says that they will reduce they will reduce the fees that they previously increased to cover the DSF. Where do we find these new fees? Does that mean that the Referral Fee for toys and games that was increased to 15.3% to cover this fee will go back to 15%? How can i find this info?

DST was set up for Amazon to pay their own dues and demands not to pass on to others, it was supposed to be a tax on Amazon services, if it was a tax for every internet based company to pay we would all receive individual notifications from HMRC. As usual Amazon negate their responsibilities and wheedle out of paying a tax, not with clever avoidance/evasion tactics by accountants, but by shipping it off.

Ive just found that you are charging DSF on shipping chargeback but not netting this off against the Shipping Collected which should net to zero.

Why one but not the other?
