🚨 Important Update: Introduction of Amazon's Regulatory Advertising Fees 🚨
Starting August 15, 2024, Amazon will introduce Regulatory Advertising Fees that may be applied to your invoice for ads served in specific countries or when ads are purchased by advertisers in certain regions. These fees are a result of the introduction of local Digital Services Taxes (DST) and other regulations.
💡 Affected Regions and DST Rates:
Canada: 3%
United Kingdom: 2%
Italy: 3%
France: 3%
Spain: 3%
Austria: 5%
Turkey: 7.5%
🔍 What This Means for Advertisers:
If you're advertising your products in any of the affected countries, you will see these additional fees reflected in your invoice subtotal. This change is a direct result of local DST and regulatory requirements aimed at digital advertising services.
📌 Why This Change?
The implementation of DST by various countries aims to ensure that digital advertising services contribute fairly to local economies. Amazon is complying with these regulations by passing on the DST costs to advertisers.
Stay informed and plan accordingly to accommodate these new fees in your advertising budget.
