亚马逊同步数据给税务的时候,把当地国的税费也都算做卖家的销售收入,一并同步给税局了,会导致卖家的销售收入虚高,不管用9810还是0110都没办法做到报关金额去覆盖这些税费,特别是欧洲高达销售额20%的VAT。卖家朋友们可以考虑发邮件给亚马逊,让他们调整数据口径,从我们的销售收入里面剔除这一部分税费数据。这里有一份参考模板,需要的可以自取:

Subject: Request to Exclude Marketplace-Facilitator Taxes from Revenue Reported to Tax Authorities

Dear Amazon Seller Support,

I am writing on behalf of our company, a China-based Amazon seller operating across the United States and Europe.

We would like to raise a concern regarding the revenue information that Amazon reports to tax authorities on behalf of sellers.

Currently, the gross sales figures reported by Amazon appear to include taxes that Amazon collects and remits directly under Marketplace Facilitator laws and other tax collection obligations, including but not limited to:

U.S. Sales Tax collected and remitted by Amazon;
European VAT collected and remitted by Amazon;
Other marketplace-facilitator taxes or indirect taxes for which Amazon acts as the deemed supplier or tax remitter.

These taxes are never received by sellers and do not constitute seller revenue. However, when such taxes are included in the sales amounts reported to tax authorities, the reported figures become significantly higher than the actual revenue recognized by sellers.

As a result, we frequently encounter discrepancies between:

Revenue reported by Amazon to tax authorities; and
Revenue reported in our accounting records and tax filings.

This creates substantial compliance challenges. We are repeatedly required to explain these differences to local tax authorities, many of whom are unfamiliar with Amazon's marketplace tax collection mechanisms. The process is time-consuming, burdensome, and increases the risk of misunderstandings during tax audits and compliance reviews. For example, if a customer pays USD 110, consisting of USD 100 product revenue and USD 10 sales tax collected and remitted by Amazon, the seller only earns USD 100. If Amazon reports USD 110 as seller revenue, the reported amount overstates the seller's actual income by 10%, creating unavoidable discrepancies with statutory accounting records and tax filings.

Furthermore, for sellers based in jurisdictions such as China, the issue creates an additional tax burden.

The revenue data reported by Amazon is often used by local tax authorities as the basis for determining taxable turnover for domestic Value-Added Tax (VAT) purposes. When marketplace-facilitator taxes, sales taxes, or VAT amounts collected and remitted directly by Amazon are included in the reported revenue figures, the seller's taxable revenue is artificially inflated. This substantially enlarges the tax base on which sellers calculate and pay VAT within Chinese territory. Given China’s standard VAT rate of 13%, the resulting tax liability will evolve into an unaffordable financial burden for sellers.

As a consequence:

The VAT tax base recognized by local tax authorities becomes higher than the seller's actual revenue;
Sellers may be required to pay domestic VAT on amounts that were never received by them;
Taxes already collected and remitted by Amazon to foreign governments may effectively be included again in the seller's domestic VAT calculation, resulting in an unreasonable form of double taxation;
Sellers must spend significant time and resources providing explanations and supporting documents to reconcile these discrepancies with local tax authorities.

This issue has become increasingly significant for cross-border e-commerce sellers and may lead to unnecessary tax disputes, compliance risks, and additional financial burdens.

We respectfully request that Amazon consider one of the following solutions:

Exclude marketplace-facilitator taxes, VAT, sales taxes, and other taxes collected and remitted by Amazon from the revenue amounts reported to tax authorities; or
Provide separate reporting fields that clearly distinguish:
Seller revenue actually earned by the seller;
Taxes collected and remitted by Amazon on behalf of governments.

This would ensure that tax authorities receive more accurate information regarding seller income and would significantly reduce compliance difficulties for sellers operating internationally.

As Amazon continues to support millions of cross-border sellers, we believe greater transparency in tax reporting would benefit both sellers and tax authorities while reducing unnecessary disputes and administrative burdens.

We would appreciate your consideration of this issue and would welcome any clarification regarding Amazon's current reporting methodology and any plans to improve the reporting of marketplace-facilitator taxes.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

[Company Name]

[Seller Account Name]
