Amazon collects tax on marketplace orders, but what about my Shopify site orders fulfilled with Amazon?
I am based in Mexico and run a U.S. LLC for a small supplement brand. Most sales are on Amazon, but I also have a Shopify store and use Amazon's fulfillment network to ship some direct website orders. Marketplace sales are around $190,000 and website sales are another $45,000.
My confusion is whether Amazon's marketplace tax collection logic protects the Shopify orders too, since the same inventory and fulfillment system is being used in the background.
