Is the US going to impose taxes on Amazon sellers? !

This morning, I was overwhelmed by another piece of news.

The media in all major cross-border circles are

This matter was reported in full

The friends in the group also exploded

Will the US site also be linked to

Has the European station started to levy taxes as well?

Now that VAT in Europe has become a foregone conclusion

The US site has become the last pure land for Amazon sellers

So when the tax news came out, sellers were so anxious.

If the US site starts to collect taxes

Amazon is really hard to do.

So back to the source, this news is really

Does it mean a comprehensive taxation in the United States?

Let’s take a look at the original text

It is indeed an official notification email sent by Amazon to sellers

There is no need to doubt the authenticity of the news.

Next we will see

Is the situation really as serious as the media say?

You can even

This marks the first shot of US taxation on e-commerce

U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number requested by mail

It is a very rare word when operating Amazon.

Many sellers don’t even know about this.

Combined with the key points Alice found after carefully reading the original text

If the store is registered with Chinese company information

Why would I be asked to upload?

What is the U.S. taxpayer identification number?

Alice made a simple guess. If it is correct,

Then the seller who received this email

Checked the box when registering that you are a U.S. citizen

Go to the group and ask everyone

Verify Alice's idea

Everyone said that they didn't receive it.

I just saw someone else posting the message.

Alice also opened the emails of several of her own stores.

I searched the keyword "CDTFA" in the email.

No store received this email.

Finally someone received the email.

The friend came to Alice to report the news

This confirmed Alice's idea.

Alice guessed that if

Checked the box for being a U.S. citizen

Now you will receive this email that is being circulated by the media.

However, none of the stores registered with the company received any emails.

The only person who disclosed the information to Alice was an individual seller.

Alice further speculates

Checked during registration

Individual sellers who are U.S. citizens

This is the target of this email.

And there is another one that is not checked

Individual sellers who are U.S. citizens

I also came to tell Alice that I received it.

Notification email from Amazon

The content of this email is quite different.

This email did not mention

Any tax-related information

There is no requirement for a U.S. taxpayer identification number.

Instead, sellers are required to provide

1. Complete address

2. Unexpired ID

(passport or ID card, driver's license, etc.)

3. The registered email address of the Amazon account

Tax notices issued to US individual sellers

Sent a review notice to non-US individual sellers

Amazon is putting individual seller accounts on the platform

A big screening is coming

There may be further actions in the future

And it will be for individual sellers

The above is what Alice inferred based on everyone’s feedback.

If there is any update in the future, it will be released as soon as possible.

Many people think that it is more convenient to be an individual seller than to register a company.

It’s actually a big misunderstanding

Amazon as a platform that favors brands and products

It is actually quite unfriendly to individual sellers.

Whether it is policy support or dispute resolution

Company registered stores have absolute advantages

Individual sellers will have a harder time in the future
