Collecting taxes was simpler when Amazon first started in 1994 – our tax-collection technology was limited to a single line of code. Today, due to the growth of Amazon’s business and the evolving requirements around sales tax collection, a number of sophisticated services are in place to manage merchant tax data, create audit records and reports, and collect sales taxes for each geography we do business in and for all product classifications present in our catalog.

The Tax Systems team builds and manages the technology behind these services, ensuring that Amazon meets its legal requirements, manages data impacting sales tax collection, creates audit records, applies relevant sales tax to shoppers’ orders and minimizes confusion for customers.
