When selling on Amazon Mexico, Amazon may apply VAT and income tax withholding to your orders depending on your RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes) status and seller profile.
These taxes are calculated and withheld directly by Amazon, not by SellerRunning.
SellerRunning does not determine tax rates. Instead, it uses the tax values you enter to calculate accurate costs, profit, and pricing for your products.
How RFC Affects Tax Rates on Amazon Mexico
The tax rates applied by Amazon Mexico can vary based on whether:
A valid RFC is registered in your Amazon Seller Central
The seller is classified as a business or an individual
The seller is based inside or outside of Mexico
As a result, different sellers may see different total tax deductions on their orders, such as 0%, 10.5%, 16%, 36% or higher combined rates.
How SellerRunning Uses Marketplace Sales Tax
In SellerRunning, the Marketplace Sales Tax field is used to represent the actual total tax rate applied by Amazon to your orders.
This value is used to:
Calculate product costs accurately
Calculate real profit and margins
Set correct product pricing based on net earnings
SellerRunning does not validate or apply RFC rules. It simply reflects the tax rate that Amazon applies to your sales.
Why Entering the Correct Tax Rate Matters
If the tax rate entered in SellerRunning does not match the rate applied by Amazon:
Your profit calculations may be inaccurate
Your pricing strategy may be based on incorrect margins
Reported costs may not reflect real deductions
To ensure accurate results, we recommend:
Checking your Amazon settlement or order reports
Identifying the effective total tax rate applied by Amazon
Entering that rate into the Marketplace Sales Tax field in SellerRunning
