How does using Fulfillment by Amazon affect sales tax obligations for Georgia sellers?
Using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) in Georgia establishes a physical nexus due to inventory stored in Amazon’s fulfillment centers. Sellers must:
Register for a Georgia sales tax permit.
Collect and remit sales tax on taxable goods sold to Georgia residents.
Apply the 4% state rate plus local surtaxes based on delivery address.
File sales tax returns regularly (monthly, quarterly, annually).
Maintain accurate sales and inventory records.
Comply with Marketplace Facilitator laws where Amazon may collect taxes on behalf of sellers.
Proper compliance ensures adherence to Georgia’s tax regulations and avoids penalties.
