Missing GST Collection on Orders – Amazon AU
Hi there! I am inquiring about the GST collection on my Amazon Australia (FBA) orders. I have noticed that my Payment Reports do not show GST being collected on most of my orders. However, based on my understanding, Amazon is supposed to collect and remit GST on my behalf since I have not provided an ABN/GST registration number in my Tax Settings.
I have checked my Payment Report, but I do not see a clear breakdown of GST collected, except for a few transactions where "sales tax collected" is recorded. Additionally, some of my orders to New Zealand show GST deductions, but similar deductions are not visible for Australia.
Could someone please clarify the following:
Is Amazon correctly collecting and remitting GST on my orders to Australia?
Why does my payment report not show a separate GST amount for most transactions?
Where can I find a detailed breakdown of GST collected on my orders?
Are there any settings or requirements I need to update to ensure Amazon collects GST properly?
I appreciate any assistance!
Best regards,
Ivan Cherepanov

Pretty sure you are solely responsible for charging GST inclusive prices, and then remitting to the ATO.
"As between you and Amazon, you will be responsible for the collection and/or payment of any and all of your taxes. Any and all fees payable by you to Amazon pursuant to this Agreement are exclusive of all sales, use, goods and service and similar taxes, and you will pay any taxes that are imposed and payable on such amounts. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you agree that Amazon is not obligated to determine whether taxes apply to, and Amazon is not responsible to collect, report, or remit any taxes arising from any of your transactions."
