Why Amazon payouts and sales differ
A payout combines several transactions. Its amount alone explains neither your sales nor your profit.
Referral fees, FBA charges, refunds and reserves can affect a payout. Review the included movements and add separately invoiced costs.
Which part was revenue, which was fee, and which order does which refund belong to?
The reports provide the basis for reconciliation. Review unmatched items and add missing documents.
What KudTax pulls from Amazon
Four data streams that belong together and live in different reports.
Orders
Gross revenue, tax rate, destination country and shipping per line — the basis for VAT.
Fees
Review referral and FBA fees using the available statements. Include period-based costs and separate supporting documents.
Refunds
Returns and partial refunds including the proportional fee correction, even when they arrive weeks later.
Payouts
The actual transfer, posted against a clearing account rather than as revenue.
Amazon FBA and FBM: different supporting records
FBA adds fulfilment and inventory records. FBM also requires your own shipping and service provider documents. Sales, refunds and payouts need to reconcile under both models.
With FBA, review movements between warehouses as well. With FBM, separately paid shipping costs are not an unexplained difference within an Amazon payout.
VAT and OSS
Dispatch and destination country, time of supply and the marketplace role matter for VAT. Whether a transaction falls within OSS depends on the specific circumstances.
KudTax separates these cases from the order data and prepares them for the OSS return.
The DATEV export
What comes out is a posting batch the firm can import without questions: the right accounts, correct tax keys, a document link per entry and a clearing account that comes to zero.
If a balance remains, that is not cosmetic — it points at an event still unallocated, usually a withheld reserve.
Vendor Central
Selling to Amazon rather than through the marketplace means purchase orders, credit notes, allowances and co-op fees instead of settlement reports. That case is supported too.
