I. What vouchers have been recognized?

According to the circulating caliber, the following two types of offshore vouchers can be directly used as pre-tax deduction vouchers for EIT:

That said, as long as you can export expense reports from the Amazon backend, this data is available for use as vouchers when filing.

II. But there is a key pitfall: deductions are capped

Recognizing an out-of-state voucher is not the same as a full deduction. There are several expenses for which the pre-tax deduction is proportionately limited:

Get a feel for it with a number:

A seller has $5M in annual sales and pays $750K in Amazon commissions (15%).

*Commission deductible before tax at deduction cap of 5% = $5M × 5% = $250,000*

The actual payment of $750,000 can only be deducted for $250,000 - there is $500,000 of true cost that is not tax deductible.

This means that many sellers underestimate the actual tax they will have to pay when measuring their tax liability.

III. What is the correct approach?

Step 1 Archive the platform cost breakdown by month

From now on, download and save it on a regular monthly basis:

• - Amazon Advertising Rate Invoice
• - Platform commission deduction details
• - Warehousing fees, FBA fee billing
• - Receipts for third-party logistics and tooling services

File naming convention: Year Month_Cost Category_Amount to be retained for reference.

The second step is to understand the deduction ceiling for each expense

Don't assume that you can deduct everything if you have proof. Before filing your annual tax return, sort out the actual percentage of deduction for each type of expense and re-calculate your tax liability.

Step 3 Re-measure Product Profit

After factoring in non-deductible costs into the actual tax liability, assess the true profit level of the current product - many sellers will find that the gap between book and after-tax profits is not insignificant.

Step 4 Pay attention to the withholding of foreign service fees

Fees paid to offshore service providers are, in some cases, subject to withholding and payment of withholding tax at the time of payment in order to be expensed on a pre-tax basis. If this step is skipped, the expenses are not deductible.
