Starting with the regulations in certain states, Amazon is required to collect and remit sales tax on taxable marketplace sales. It is important to understand how this process integrates with your financial system, particularly in NetSuite, to avoid overstating your revenue.

To ensure accurate accounting, you can configure the NetSuite Connector to automatically omit tax for orders where Amazon has already remitted tax on your behalf. This practice is essential for accurately reflecting your revenue since including this tax you never receive could distort your financial records.
