    Amazon says for single member llc the legal entity will be llc owner name instead of us llc
    But if we use llc owner name then bank account will be under usa llc name so there is be discrepency in deposit method
    And actual form w8ben has option to fill out ein but why amazon is not asking for it in tax interview?
    I have subscribed and waiting for your response😅

    Thank you, great video! I have LLC (single owner) but in Croatia - EU, and want to start selling on Amazon. Croatia is approved country, so is this procedure from the video applicable on my situation?

      Hi Josip, the demonstration as shown in the video should work for owners of single member LLCs, regardless of the country of residence.
      If you have specific complications, I’ll advise that you schedule sometime with me using the link below and I’ll use my account to demonstrate how to fix those complexities. Thanks

    Hi, I have a question. I open an amazon account with my LLC. I am in Mexico, but I rent a physical address in the US to receive all my mail. when I filled Amazon information, I used that physical address. It would be a problem if in the tax information, I change the address? Thanks in advance.

    • @OGTAX
      @OGTAX  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Nery, welcome to the channel. What address did you use initially? The permanent address in MX?
      In general, when your permanent address is a foreign address, and your mailing address is US address, amazon will request for additional documentation to explain why there’s a US address when you have indicated on the interview that you’re a foreign person.
      As you go through the checkout, pay close attention to the documents being requested and provide them.
      If you’d like to schedule sometime with me to walk you through your specific scenario using my amazon account, I’ll be happy to do so.
      Just click on the link below at your convenience and I’ll be happy to walk you through. Thanks

      I added you to my contacts and I will definitely use your services for some things I will need in the future, like taxes and other paperwork.
      I was having trouble finding someone trustworthy for taxes because the accountants I contacted didn't know about foreign owner LLC. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU SAVED ME.

    Hi Alex, I'm on the same situation as Nery Garcia, ... my AMZ account was opened using my US address, but I realize that I have to declare my Foreign address in the Tax Interview, I must do it in order to keep my business with 0% withholding rate .. would you be so kind to tell me if I need to change my AMZ address(my LLC address) to my foreign address? I'm really afraid if I do it ... maybe AMZ will suspend my account

      Hi Yupanqui,
      Thanks for subscribing to the channel, we appreciate you. It is much smoother to use your foreign address to sign up with amazon - especially if you’re foreign selling person in your own name, selling through a foreign entity, or selling through a US SMLLC.
      It is also smoother because Amazon probably will not send documents to that US virtual address you’re planning of using, all the reports and tax documents will be right there in your seller account.
      Amazon generally communicate to their sellers using the email you provided (but be careful of scammers, hackers and identify thieves), and not the virtual address you have.
      In summary, all the important notifications and information you need from amazon after registering is right there on your dashboard and in your email, so using a US address is not needed.
      However, if you provide A U.S. mailing while at the same time indicating that you are not a U.S. person, then a 24% Applicable Withholding Rate will be applied to your account - meaning amazon will withhold 24% of your sales, unless you can remediate or solve the issue by providing one or more of the following pieces of evidence
       A written explanation and/or upload documentary evidence that supports your non-U.S. status and/or treaty residency.
      Some common examples of accepted documents are:
      • Passport,
      • Certificate of Residency, or National ID Card if you are an individual, or for entities a Certificate of Organization/Incorporation.
      Once you have collected the necessary documents, you can then return to the tax interview to provide these documents and complete your tax interview and submission.
      Also note that Your selling privileges will remain suspended until you submit the tax information and documents requested above.
      So why go through the hassle above when you can easily provide a foreign address?
      I hope this helps

      @@OGTAX Thank you Alex, the PROBLEM is that my Country of residence, is NOT ALLOWED to sell on AMZ, that's why I opened my sellers account using my SM-LLC Address (US address) .... if I change the address to my foreign one, I guess AMZ will suspend me, so I'm so afraid of that.
      So, as I need to keep my US address on AMZ, but to declare my Foreign address on the W8Ben, then I don;t know if AMZ will suspend me for doing this change🙄

    Hello Alex, thank you for uploading this video. I'm in the same situation regarding the insurance. I noticed that you recommended to change the entity name on Amazon to the US SM-LLC but to keep the address in a foreign country on Amazon. The insurer insures the new SM-LLC with the US address. Amazon wants the seller to upload the insurance certificate. On the insurance certificate the Name matches the entity but the address does not match.
    Also in the unlikely event a insurance claim occurs, what will happen? On Amazon a claim against XYZ LLC. in Canada but the actual LLC is in Delaware for example... Still somewhat confused.
