AWS Marketplace expands Japan consumption tax support for Channel Partner Private Offers

AWS Marketplace Expands Japan Consumption Tax Support

AWS Marketplace has expanded its Japan consumption tax (JCT) support for Channel Partner Private Offers (CPPOs), enhancing the tax experience for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Channel Partners.

For transactions where Japan ISVs authorize Japan Channel Partners to resell to Japan addressed buyers, AWS Japan G.K. will now collect the 10% JCT for the first leg of the transaction between ISVs and Channel Partners, issue a tax qualified invoice (TQI) to the Channel Partners, and disburse the JCT to ISVs.

AWS Japan will continue to collect the 10% JCT for the second leg of the transaction between Japan Channel Partners and Japan buyers and issue a TQI to the buyers, as previously established under the Japan Marketplace Facilitator rule. This launch unifies the compliance across both transactions, creating a seamless tax experience.
