Responsibility for Taxes
You are responsible for identifying your Tax obligations in addition to the calculation, remittance, and reporting of all Taxes within your obligation.
In some circumstances, Amplife® may, consistent with the applicable law, calculate, collect, and remit (as Amplife®) applicable national, state, or local sales and use taxes, goods, and services taxes (GST), or value-added taxes (VAT) (collectively "Taxes") on orders where the transaction is completed on amplife.co ("Standard Listings"), destined to specific locations ("Marketplace Facilitator Tax").
Vendors remain responsible for any ongoing remittance and/or reporting requirements they may have in connection with Marketplace Facilitator Tax. Amplife® does not report or remit Taxes to any government on behalf of any vendor.
Except as otherwise provided in the Amplife® Vendor Participation Agreement ("Agreement"), you agree that Amplife® is not obligated to determine your Tax obligation, whether Taxes apply, and Amplife® will not be responsible for calculating, collecting, reporting, or remitting any vendor obligated Taxes arising from any transaction. However, if a taxing authority requires us to pay any of your Taxes, you will promptly reimburse us for the amount paid.
Marketplace Facilitator Tax
Marketplace Facilitator Tax Collection applies to all Standard Listings, from all vendors, when an order is shipping to a jurisdiction (country, state, county, city, district) where Marketplace Facilitator laws have been enacted. All vendors must agree to automatic Marketplace Facilitator Tax Collection, irrespective of their location, listing or order origin, or the volume or quantity of sales made by the vendor.
The buyer pays the Taxes collected by Amplife® on the listing sold. The collected amounts are reflected on your order details and order reporting with a deduction, in the Vendor Portal’s Finance tab, equal to the amount of Amplife®’s obligation to remit to the appropriate government authority.
Amplife® remits the collected amounts to the appropriate government authority as Amplife®, based on applicable law. If the Tax amount deducted by Amplife® is less than the amount collected from the buyer, the difference remains the vendor’s responsibility to remit to the appropriate government authority. Amplife® does not report or remit Taxes on behalf of any vendor to government authorities.
Taxes on Fees and Payments
Any and all fees payable by you pursuant to the Agreement are exclusive of all Taxes, meaning that we will not hold any Taxes from your payout, and you will pay any Taxes that are imposed and payable on such amounts. All payments made by you to Amplife® under this Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding, as may be required by law. If any such deduction or withholding is required on any payment, you will pay such additional amounts, as are necessary so that the net amount received by Amplife® is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Agreement.
Shipping Listings Internationally
When fulfilling listings from a country outside the order origin country (elected country), you are the importer of goods to the elected country and responsible for the payment of all import duties, Taxes, and customs fees (collectively “Customs Fees”). If you fulfill listings to an address outside your elected country, generally, you are considered the exporter and the buyer is considered the importer. The vendor is responsible for export Customs Fees (if any) and the buyer is responsible for any import Customs Fees related to their purchase. Customs Fees paid by any party (if any) are in addition to the sales proceeds collected by Amplife®.
