Keeping accurate financial records is a critical part of running a successful Amazon business. Whether you’re an FBA or FBM seller, having access to your fee invoices is essential for managing expenses, calculating VAT, and staying compliant with tax authorities.
In this guide, you’ll learn exactly how to download your Amazon Seller Central fee invoices quickly and easily—ensuring you have the right documents on hand when you need them.
Accessing Your Invoices: Step-by-Step
1. Log into Your Seller Central Account
Begin by signing in to your Amazon Seller Central dashboard. Make sure you’re using the correct credentials for the marketplace you’re managing.
2. Navigate to the Tax Document Library
Once logged in:
- Click the menu icon (the three horizontal lines at the top left of the screen).
- Scroll down and select Reports.
- Under Reports, click on Tax Document Library.
This section houses all the tax-related documents associated with your seller account.
Understanding the Tax Document Library
Inside the Tax Document Library, you’ll find several categories:
- Amazon VAT Calculation
- Amazon VAT Invoices
- Amazon Commingled VAT Calculation
- Mexican Tax Invoices
For the purpose of managing your seller fees, the relevant section is Amazon VAT Invoices. This tab contains all invoices related to the fees Amazon has charged for fulfillment, shipping labels, and other seller services.
What’s Included in These Invoices?
The invoices available here cover a wide range of charges, such as:
- FBA Fulfillment Fees
- Merchant Fulfillment (FBM) Fees
- Shipping Labels Purchased via Amazon
- Other Transactional Charges Incurred Through Selling Activities
Each invoice includes a detailed breakdown of total fees and any VAT collected by Amazon. This is particularly useful for sellers operating in VAT-registered countries, such as Germany, where this documentation is necessary to reclaim VAT.
How to Download Your Invoices
To download an invoice:
- Locate the appropriate entry in the Amazon VAT Invoices section.
- Click View next to the invoice you’d like to access.
- The invoice will open in a new browser tab or window.
- From there, you can download the file in PDF format to your device.
This PDF can then be uploaded to your accounting software or forwarded to your accountant, depending on how you manage your financial records.
Managing Invoices Across Multiple Marketplaces
If you sell in more than one country (e.g., Amazon Germany, Amazon Spain, Amazon Sweden), you’ll see separate invoices for each marketplace. Be sure to download all applicable invoices for complete and accurate reporting.
If you only sell in a single region, you’ll see invoices specific to that country.
Invoice Availability Timeline
Amazon typically makes these invoices available between the 1st and 10th of each month, covering the previous month’s transactions. For example, March’s invoices will generally be accessible between April 1st and April 8th.
It’s important to retrieve your invoices within this window—especially if you need them for VAT filing or monthly accounting cycles.
Why These Invoices Are Important
These invoices are essential for more than just record-keeping—they play a critical role in managing your business finances. They’re necessary for reclaiming VAT in countries like Germany, filing accurate tax returns, and preparing for financial audits. Additionally, they help you track key expenses and measure overall profitability.
Consistently downloading and storing these documents ensures you remain compliant with local tax regulations and ready for any reporting requirements. Whether you manage your finances independently or through an accountant, having these invoices readily available keeps your business organized, transparent, and better equipped to handle both day-to-day operations and long-term financial planning.
Final Thoughts
Downloading your Amazon Seller Central fee invoices is a simple yet vital task for any seller. By following the steps above, you can ensure that your business stays organized, tax-compliant, and financially transparent.
Make it a habit to check the Tax Document Library at the start of each month and keep your accounting records up to date. If you’re ever in doubt about how to handle your invoices, don’t hesitate to consult with a tax professional or accountant familiar with Amazon marketplace operations.
