Prepare Amazon VAT data with TaxLedger

Official transcript

What this SellerEngine guide covers

Welcome. In this tutorial, we'll explore TaxLedger, which turns your Amazon VAT report into a clear tax overview and accountant-ready exports to review. This is the demo workspace for Northstar Botanicals, a fictional brand with synthetic data. Let's open TaxLedger from its row.

Up top, the SellerEngine bar switches to any other tool, toggles night and day mode, or takes you back to the workspace. Let's expand the sidebar. It jumps between the five sections, and shows the Amazon connection status and your last export.

The header shows where every number comes from. Here, a manually validated Amazon VAT Transactions Report for June 2026. Direct sync with Amazon is paused until Amazon approves the tax report permission, so this button is greyed out for now. Meanwhile, this note gives the exact path in Seller Central to download that report. The coverage panel sets the scope: KPIs, country totals and exports come from that report, and wider transfer and inventory coverage is planned once Amazon approves access.

Now the overview. Invoice lines counts the sale and refund rows, with the number of invoices and orders underneath. Then net sales and VAT collected, with the effective VAT rate, simply VAT divided by net sales. Gross total is net plus VAT. Headline figures use the report's main currency, here euros, so currencies are never added together.

Imports is the manual fallback. In your own account, you download the VAT Transactions Report from Seller Central and drop the CSV here. When you pick or drop a file, the zone confirms it by name. Nothing changes until you press Load CSV, which makes it the active source. The demo already has a June report loaded, so we won't press Load CSV here, and the figures above stay exactly as they are.

Breakdown splits the period by VAT treatment, decided from Amazon's own tax flags, with lines, total and share for each. Local consumer sales lead, then business sales, VAT that Amazon collects as the marketplace, One-Stop-Shop sales across the EU, and exports. Stock transfers and inbound shipments are listed too, here at zero value, so they don't inflate your sales. Alongside, Rates and classifications groups the period by VAT rate, with net and VAT for each rate. Unrated collects lines without a VAT rate, such as exports. Each table lists the largest groups.

Markets shows where you sold: gross sales by Amazon marketplace, with each one's share. Spain and Germany lead this period. Next, totals by destination country, with base, total and effective VAT. Each country keeps its own currency, so Great Britain shows pounds.

Exports builds two files for your accountant to review: an issued invoices ledger, and a sales and VAT summary. The ledger is a CSV with one row per invoice line: order and invoice numbers, classification, net, VAT, totals, marketplace, SKU and ASIN. For the summary, pick the countries where you're VAT-registered. Let's select Germany, France, Spain and Italy, and turn on OSS for a separate One-Stop-Shop draft. The workbook holds an executive VAT summary, the sales and VAT report, inventory transfers, and a draft sheet per selected country with activity, for review. Downloads are switched off in this demo.

In your account, these buttons download the CSV and the XLSX. One safeguard: let's clear the chips and press Generate XLSX. With nothing selected, TaxLedger asks for a country or OSS first.

Below is the fiscal profile and period close. Let's open it. In this demo account, it's unavailable. In a connected account, you store VAT registrations and OSS details here for the summary drafts, and close each month with completeness checks and a reviewer sign-off.

TaxLedger prepares reviewable drafts for your accountant. It doesn't file returns or guarantee compliance, and you stay in control. Thanks for watching. Start your 7-day free trial at sellerengine.app.
