Amazon, the world's leading online shopping site, has created one of the most advanced fulfillment networks in the world, benefitting third-party sellers. The retail giant has increased the number of Amazon Fulfillment Centers to 26 different states across the country. Third-party sellers store their products in Amazon's fulfillment centers, Amazon picks, packs, ships, and provides customer service for the products. While Amazon fulfillment centers help third-party sellers scale their business and reach more customers, states have been eager to grab their share of the revenue. This money grab has led to new "tax nexus" liabilities for Amazon sellers.
Amazon's addition of new fulfillment centers is intended to keep up with the demands of products being sold online. Amazon fulfillment centers make it easier for third-party sellers to ship their products to customers within the area. As a result of different Amazon fulfillment center locations, third-party sellers are now required to comply with tax nexus responsibilities within the state of the fulfillment center. To comply with the tax nexus responsibilities, Amazon sellers need to be aware of the tax requirements of the state where the Amazon Fulfillment Centers hold their inventory.
Third-party sellers need to promptly address applicable tax responsibilities with the state that has jurisdiction over the Amazon Fulfillment Center that stores their products. While third-party sellers can check the states where their products are available in FBA inventory through wherestock.com, what they do next to satisfy their tax liabilities can be a maze.
