Taxation dashboard - AWS Marketplace

Taxation dashboard

The taxation dashboard provides visualization and fine-grained data on US and international tax for transactions in AWS Marketplace.

To open this dashboard, sign in to the AWS Marketplace Management Portal, choose Insights, Marketing, and then choose the Listing performance tab.

Refresh frequency of the taxation dashboard

Dashboards are updated daily. If the latest transaction data received from upstream systems is delayed, there might be a 1–2 day delay for the latest data to reflect on the dashboards.

Section 1: Controls

This section of the dashboard provides filters to refine your taxation data. You can also add a filter to an analysis, such as the range of dates that you want to include in visuals. The filters selected within the controls update the data that is displayed in the metrics, trends, breakdowns, and granular data sections.

For more information about filtering, see Filtering data on Amazon QuickSight in the Amazon QuickSight User Guide.

If no taxes are collected, there's no value shown. The seller must determine whether some taxes were collected for each invoice, as the seller is liable for tax collection.

Section 2: Filters date

This section of the dashboard provides filters to refine records based on invoice dates for a specified date range. The filter selected within invoice date updates the data displayed in the metrics, trends, breakdowns, and granular data sections. For example, if you select the date filter Past 30 days, then all sections will reflect data associated to invoices taxed within the last 30 days.

Section 3: Metrics

This section of the dashboard displays key performance indicators (KPI) to visualize metrics related to tax, including taxable amount, non-taxable amount, tax amount, number of invoices taxed, and total number of transactions. You can update the date range by updating the date filter in the Filters section.

Section 4: Tax trends

This section of the dashboard provides taxation trends for a specified date range. You can view the trends by a specified date aggregation—such as daily, month-over-month, quarter-over-quarter, or year-over-year—to gain insight into taxation. The following taxation trends information is available:

  • Tax trends - amounts – Provides a snapshot of both the taxable and tax amounts for the selected period of time by invoice date.

  • Tax trends - number of invoices – Provides a snapshot of the number of invoices for the selected period of time by invoice date.

Section 5: Breakdowns

This section of the dashboard provides you with tax metrics for your business by invoice ID, tax type, product title, and customer geography.
