Understanding the Digital Services Fee

In October 2024, Amazon introduced a Digital Services Fee (DSF) in UK, France, Italy, Spain, and Canada; this means that businesses established or selling in these countries will see a DSF percentage increase on certain fees:

• Selling: Referral fee, fixed closing fee, variable closing fee and get-paid-faster fee
• Fulfilment by Amazon (UK and France only): FBA fee and shipping chargeback fee

DSF percentages by country:

• UK: 2%*
  
• France: 3%*
  
• Italy, Spain or Canada: 3%*
• Any other country: 2%**
  

*Applies when selling on Amazon and Fulfilment by Amazon fees for sales in the following stores: UK, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, United States, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Netherlands, Poland and Mexico.
**Applies when Selling on Amazon and Fulfilment by Amazon fees for sales in the UK and France stores, and a digital services fee of 2% on Selling on Amazon fees for sales in the Italy, Spain and Canada stores

If your business is in a country without the Digital Services Fee (DSF) and you don't sell in the UK, France, Italy, Spain, or Canada, the DSF won't apply to you.

The SAS Profit Calculator and the Amazon Revenue Calculator both reflect the Digital Service fee in it's calculations (halfway down Total Fees in SAS, and in the last row of Amazon fees in ARC)
