AMAZON TAX NEWS: North Carolina is the next state to request third-party sales records from Amazon.5/2/2018 This will be a growing trend in my opinion as states want their share of uncollected sales taxes.
The challenge lies mainly for 3p sellers who use FBA. Through this service, Amazon will send products all over the country within their warehouse network. Thus, a seller may have products in multiple states, and in which case, may need to collect and remit sales taxes in those areas. Beyond smaller 3p sellers, sales taxes is a point of contention for established brands exploring shifting from Vendor Central toward opening a storefront within the Seller Central marketplace. When brands sell through Vendor Central, Amazon owns the inventory and takes on the tax liability. In Seller Central, the inventory is owned by the seller. Many bigger brands want to move on a 3p strategy, but the potential tax exposure is giving many a moment of pause. I should say now I'm no tax expert and you should always consult with one when evaluating third-party selling opportunities.
