# Step 2: Provide tax information
Provide tax information

Providing tax information is a required step for sellers who plan to offer paid products on AWS Marketplace. This information ensures proper tax reporting and withholding for your sales.

## Tax information requirements


The tax information you need to provide depends on your country or region and the types of products you plan to sell:
+ **US-based sellers** – If you're based in the United States, you need to provide a completed W-9 form, which includes your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).
+ **Non-US sellers** – If you're based outside the United States, you need to provide a completed W-8 form (typically W-8BEN for individuals or W-8BEN-E for entities). This does not apply to sellers in India.
+ **VAT/GST registration** – If you're required to collect Value-Added Tax (VAT) or Goods and Services Tax (GST) in your jurisdiction, you need to provide your VAT/GST registration number.
+ **Professional services providers** – If you plan to sell professional services on AWS Marketplace, you must complete the Tax Questionnaire for DAC7 in addition to the standard tax forms.

**Sellers in India**  
Sellers in India don't need to complete the W-8 form or DAC7 as they can only sell to buyers in India. If you're changing your location to outside India, you need to complete W-9 or W-8 forms (as applicable) and DAC7. For detailed information about India-specific tax requirements, see [Getting started as a seller in India](getting-started-seller-india.md).

## Steps to provide tax information


Follow these steps to provide your tax information in AWS Marketplace:

1. Sign in to the AWS Marketplace Management Portal at [https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/management/](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/management/).

1. Select **Go to tax dashboard** in the **Payment information** section.

1. Complete the U.S. tax interview. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the appropriate tax form based on your location (W-9 form for US-based sellers or W-8 form for non-US sellers).
**Note**  
If you see the error message "Tax interview location does not match the business location," ensure that the banking and tax information provided in Billing and Cost Management matches what is entered into the AWS Marketplace Management Portal. Your tax interview location must match the business location.

1. Review all information for accuracy before submitting.

**Note**  
The tax interview process is managed by a third-party service provider. Your information is securely transmitted and stored in accordance with applicable tax regulations. The VAT information section is only available if you are in an AWS Region that supports VAT.
