AWS is currently registered to collect sales tax or other transaction taxes in:
In some states, certain AWS services are subject to sales or other transaction taxes.
How Tax is Calculated:
The amount of tax collected depends on many factors, including, but not limited to, the type of service you purchase and the tax location addresses associated with each of your accounts.
If a service is subject to tax in your state, tax will be calculated on the final sale price of each individual service.
For regular accounts, the address associated with your payment method will be used to determine the tax location for applicable taxes. If the account does not have a payment method on record, the account’s contact address will be used as a substitute.
For consolidated billing accounts, tax will be calculated on services allocated to the payer’s linked account. Linked account tax location addresses will be used to calculate tax for the accounts’ allocated services.
Once your bill is finalized, sales tax to be collected will be displayed as a line item in your PDF invoice, email summary of charges, account activity page and, if enabled, your detailed activity report
