What is the Amazon VAT Transaction Report?
The VAT Transaction Report is one of the most valuable Amazon reports for serious VAT work. It provides transaction-level detail that the Settlement Report does not, which makes it far more useful for rebuilding VAT and OSS logic accurately.
The columns that matter most
- transaction type
- transaction date or tax date
- ship from and ship to country
- taxable amount
- tax amount
- currency
- marketplace
- seller VAT and buyer VAT fields where available
How to read it from a tax perspective
It is not enough to understand the column names. The key is to map each field to a tax decision: country of consumption, B2B vs B2C status, taxable amount, VAT amount, and potential AEAT form.
Indicative mapping to Spanish forms
| Report data | Typical tax use |
|---|---|
| Spanish domestic sales | 303 |
| EU B2C sales by country and rate | 369 |
| intra-Community purchases and services | 303/349 |
| annual reconciliation | 390 |

Is it useful for OSS?
Yes. It is one of the most important reports for OSS work. See Amazon Reports for OSS Declaration for the full workflow.
