Order Synchronization: Import of Taxes

Amazon handles tax calculation and reporting on behalf of merchants. However, you can import the total order tax amount from the Amazon seller account to MYOB Acumatica along with each order.

Setting Up the Tax Synchronization

To synchronize taxes, on the Order Settings tab of the Amazon Stores (BC201020) form, you select the Tax Synchronization check box and specify the following settings:

Primary Tax Zone: This tax zone is inserted in imported documents. In this box, you should specify the tax zone for which the default tax has been set up.
Default Tax: This tax ID is inserted in imported documents for the order tax amount charged in the Amazon seller account.

The tax zone and tax you specify in these boxes are not used for calculating taxes in imported orders. To avoid discrepancies in tax amounts, disable tax recalculation for the order types that are used for importing marketplace-fulfilled and seller fulfilled orders. You do this by selecting the Disable Automatic Tax Calculation check box on the General tab of the Order Types (SO201000) form.

For information about disabling tax recalculation, see Tax Application in Sales Documents.

Importing Taxes

Taxes are imported during the synchronization of seller-fulfilled and marketplace-fulfilled orders (that is, during the synchronization of the Sales Order and Marketplace-Fulfilled Order entities).

Tip: Only the total tax amount is imported; tax names and rates are not synchronized.

In imported orders, the tax zone and tax ID are inserted based on the settings specified on the Order Settings tab of the Amazon Stores (BC201020) form.
