Which Amazon report should you use for OSS?
For OSS, the VAT Transaction Report is usually the main source because it lets you split data by country of consumption, VAT rate and VAT amount. The Settlement Report is useful for cash reconciliation, but weak as a standalone source for Form 369.
Step by step from Seller Central
- Go to the VAT or tax report area in Seller Central.
- Select the VAT Transaction Report.
- Choose the exact calendar quarter.
- Export the file and filter for B2C transactions eligible for OSS.
- Group by country of consumption and VAT rate.
Settlement Report vs VAT Transaction Report
| Report | Strength | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Settlement Report | financial view | limited tax granularity |
| VAT Transaction Report | transaction-level tax detail | still needs cleaning and logic |
