Q3 2025 Amazon tax data reporting is complete, but many sellers are in a state of confusion after receiving their reports. How to properly understand the reporting requirements? How to crack the data comparison discrepancy? How to walk steadily on the road of compliance? In this article, we will combine the latest policies and practical experience to systematically sort out the key points for you, and help you comfortably cope with the challenges of cross-border tax compliance.

First, which sellers must pay attention to tax reporting? Two types of subjects are fully covered

It doesn't matter which Amazon site you run or what category you sell, as long as it's part of the "Sellers in China" and selling goods or services in any of the Amazon global malls (including the U.S., Europe, Japan, etc.) are required to be included in the tax data reporting scope.
Important NotesEven if you are only doing overseas market and not involved in China's domestic mall, Amazon will still report your account information and transaction data to China's tax authorities in accordance with the regulations. Cross-border sellers should no longer think that "only do overseas business without the need to manage the domestic tax", compliance coverage has become an inevitable trend.

Second, Amazon report content analysis: identity information + transaction data dual-core drive

Amazon's quarterly reports cover "Identity information" versus "transaction data" The content of the report varies slightly from one qualified seller to another:

• Enterprise Sellers: Unified Social Credit Code, registered address, etc. are required;
• private seller: Information such as ID number and name should be submitted;
• Bank account details(account number, account name, organization name) and all amounts are converted at the mid-rate of the RMB exchange rate.
  Policy basis: State Council Decree No. 810, State Administration of Taxation Announcement No. 15 of 2025, and official Amazon guidelines.

Third, high-frequency questions and answers: to solve the seller's common confusion

1. Do I need to file a return with the tax authorities myself?
   No active filing is required. Amazon will report data directly to the tax agency on a quarterly basis, but sellers will need to ensure that platform information is complete and accurate.
   take note of: Changes to the information will trigger a revalidation and it is recommended not to change it unless it is necessary.
2. What if I don't receive the report email?
   Check the spam box or mailbox capacity and verify the seller's platform reserved mailbox. Amazon will send it twice in mid-January 2026, still not received can contact seller support.
3. How are overseas taxes (e.g. VAT, GST) declared?
   This type of tax is already included in the "Income Items" unified reporting, without the need for the seller to deal with separate.
4. Why doesn't the revenue/refund data match?
   • Income differences: May be due to omission of surcharges, confusion in exchange rate logic (shipment date vs. month), and different statistical calibers;
   • Difference in refunds: Often caused by tax omissions, exchange rate misapplication (exchange rate on the date the refund occurs), and unaccounted for refunds across quarters.

IV. Core Practical: Revenue and Refund Data Comparison Methodology

(i) Revenue matching (for FBA sellers)

move::

1. Download the "Amazon Delivered Shipments" report in the back office and summarize the revenue items (including item price, shipping costs, taxes, etc.) by shipment date;
2. check or refer to "Exchange rate on the day the order is delivered" Converted to RMB (postponed on holidays);
3. It is normal to compare tax report data within an error of 0.51 TP3T.
   Exchange rate inquiry: China Currency Network (https://www.chinamoney.com.cn/english/bmkcpr/)

(ii) Three-step refund comparison methodology

1. Download three materials: Tax reports, transaction reports (screening refund records), historical exchange rate tables;
2. Processing data: Withdrawal of full-caliber refunds (merchandise sales, taxes, shipping costs, etc.), converted to Beijing time;
3. Total accounting: Matches the exchange rate on the date the refund occurred, calculates the total amount of the refund in RMB and compares it to the tax report.
   take note of: Self-delivery (FBM) sellers need to be aware that the timeline for refund processing extends to 4 days after January 26, 2026, after which time refunds will be automatic.

V. Compliance is no small matter: these three red lines must be observed

1. Be careful when changing information: Changes to information on verified accounts trigger re-verification, affecting business continuity;
2. Long-term retention of reports: Tax reports, transaction records, exchange rate tables need to be kept for at least 5 years for verification;
3. Cross-order processing: Inter-annual refunds do not need to be adjusted to the current quarterly return and can be reconciled uniformly at the time of the annual remittance.

Conclusion: On the road to compliance, professional support allows you to get twice the result with half the effort.

In the face of constantly updated tax policies and complex data reconciliation, many sellers feel the pain of "information silos" - no one to answer questions about data discrepancies, the introduction of the new policy is in a hurry, the lack of reliable channels for peer-to-peer exchanges.
