Digital Services Tax Increases Fees for Amazon Merchants
Amazon have announced a series of increases in the fees that they charge as a result of the 2% Digital Services Tax introduced in April.
Starting from 1st September 2020, Amazon have increased referral fees, Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) fees, and monthly FBA storage fees by 2% for items sold in the UK. In addition, from 15th September 2020, Multi-Channel Fulfilment (MCF) fees will also increase by 2% for items sold in the UK.
For example, an item for which the referral fee on amazon.co.uk was previously 15.0%, will now attract a fee of 15.3%, and a parcel that previously had a rate of £2.27 (standard parcel ≤0.5kg), will now incur a fee of £2.32 from September.
