How must a South African or Turkey company listed in the AWS marketplace under the AWS Inc. operator deal with the VAT then?
For companies in South Africa and Turkey operating under AWS Inc., the following VAT handling procedures apply:
AWS will collect Indirect Taxes from these companies, issue a tax invoice, and remit it to the tax authority in AWS’s name if required by the country’s Indirect Tax laws.[1][2] For South Africa, the current Indirect Tax rate is 15% for both B2B (accounts with valid TRN) and B2C (accounts without valid TRN) sellers.[1][2] For Turkey, the Indirect Tax rate is 18% and applies only to B2C sellers.[1][2]
Amazon Web Services, Inc., as a U.S. based entity, serves as the marketplace operator for these regions and handles all tax-related matters.[1][2] The tax invoices provided by AWS can be used for VAT accounting and compliance purposes.[3][4]
