AWS Marketplace now displays estimated tax and invoicing entity information

AWS Marketplace Release Notes

AWS Marketplace now displays estimated tax information and the invoicing entity to buyers at the time of purchase. This new capability helps customers understand the total cost of their AWS Marketplace purchases before completing transactions, providing enhanced transparency for procurement approvals and budgeting.

When reviewing offers in AWS Marketplace, customers can now see estimated tax amounts, tax rates, and the invoicing entity based on their current tax and address settings in the AWS Billing console. This information appears at the time of procurement and can be downloaded as a PDF, allowing buyers to request approval for the correct spend amount and issue purchase orders to the appropriate invoicing entity. The estimated tax display includes the tax type (such as Value Added Tax, Goods and Services Tax, or US sales tax), estimated tax amount for upfront charges, and tax rate information. This visibility helps finance teams accurately budget and avoid unexpected costs that can impact procurement workflows and payment processing.

What to do

• Review your tax settings in the AWS Billing console.
• Check the estimated tax information and invoicing entity when reviewing offers in AWS Marketplace.
• Download the tax information as a PDF for procurement approvals and budgeting.
