Setting up your tax information
You can use the Tax settings page under Preferences and Settings in the left navigation of your AWS Billing and Cost Management console. Use this page to manage your tax registration numbers, turn on tax setting inheritance so your tax registration information is aligned across your Organizations accounts, and manage your tax exemptions. This page also shows how you can set up your Amazon S3 buckets to use your Tax Settings API.
Updating and deleting tax registration numbers
Use the following steps to update or delete one or more tax registration numbers.
Note
If a country isn't listed in the Tax settings page dropdown, AWS doesn't collect tax registration for that country at this time.
To update tax registration numbers
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Tax settings.

Turning on tax setting inheritance
You can use your tax registration information with your member accounts by turning on your Tax settings inheritance. After you activate it, your tax registration information is added to your other AWS Organizations accounts, saving you the effort of registering redundant information. Tax invoices are processed with the consistent tax information, and your usage from member accounts will consolidate to a single tax invoice.
Notes
-
Tax inheritance settings are only available to accounts after a member account is added.
-
If you turn off tax inheritance, the member accounts revert to the account's original TRN setting. If there was no TRN originally set for the account, no TRN will be assigned.
Tax registration information includes:
-
Business legal name
-
Tax address
-
Tax registration number
-
Special exemptions
To turn on tax setting inheritance

Note
You must have IAM permissions to view the Tax exemptions tab on the Tax settings page in the Billing and Cost Management console.
For an example IAM policy, see Allow IAM users to view US tax exemptions and create AWS Support cases.

Review your information, and choose Submit.
Within 24 hours, AWS Support will notify you through a support case if they need additional information, or if any of your documents weren't valid.
Once the exemption is approved, you can view it under the Tax exemption tab with an Active validity period.
You will be notified through a support case contact if your exemption was rejected.
Setting up your Amazon S3 to use your Tax Settings API
Follow this procedure so that the Tax Settings API has permission to send your tax documents to an Amazon S3 bucket. You can then download the tax document from your Amazon S3 bucket. You only need to do this procedure for the following countries that require a tax registration document:
BD: Bangladesh
KE: Kenya
KR: South Korea
ES: Spain
For all other countries, you don’t need to specify a tax registration document. If you call the Tax Settings API and provide a tax registration document in your request, the API will return a ValidationException
error message.
The following Tax Settings API operations require access to your Amazon S3 bucket:
BatchPutTaxRegistration
: Requires access to read the Amazon S3 bucketPutTaxRegistration
: Requires access to read the Amazon S3 bucketGetTaxRegistrationDocument
: Requires access to write to the Amazon S3 bucket
Adding resource policies to your Amazon S3 bucket
To allow the Tax Settings API to access the object in your Amazon S3 bucket, add the following resource policies in your Amazon S3 bucket.
Example For BatchPutTaxRegistration
and PutTaxRegistration
Replace DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET1
with the name of your bucket.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Allow the Tax Settings API to access objects", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "tax.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": [ "s3:GetObject" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::
amzn-s3-demo-bucket1
/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:tax:us-east-1:${AccountId}:*", "aws:SourceAccount": "${AccountId}" } } } ] }
Example For GetTaxRegistrationDocument
Replace amzn-s3-demo-bucket1
with the name of your
bucket.
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Allow the Tax Settings API to access objects", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "tax.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": [ "s3:PutObject" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::
amzn-s3-demo-bucket1
/*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:tax:us-east-1:${AccountId}:*", "aws:SourceAccount": "${AccountId}" } } } ] }
Note
For the classic AWS Regions (aws
partition), the aws:SourceArn
will be: arn:aws:tax:us-east-1:
{YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID}
:*
For the China Regions (aws-cn
partition), the aws:SourceArn
will be: arn:aws-cn:tax:cn-northwest-1:
{YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID}
:*
To allow the Tax Settings API access to your S3 bucket
-
Go to the Amazon S3 console
and sign in. -
Choose Buckets from the left navigation, and then choose your bucket from the list.
-
Choose the Permissions tab, then, next to Bucket policy, choose Edit.
-
In the Policy section, add the policies to the bucket.

Repeat for each bucket that encrypts an S3 bucket that Tax Settings needs to access.
AWS KMS managed key policy
If your S3 bucket is encrypted with AWS KMS managed key (SSE-KMS), add the following permission to the KMS key. This permission is required for the following API operations:
BatchPutTaxRegistration
PutTaxRegistration
GetTaxRegistrationDocument
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Id": "key-consolepolicy-3", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Allow the Tax Settings API to access objects", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "tax.amazonaws.com" }, "Action": [ "kms:Decrypt", "kms:GenerateDataKey*" ], "Resource": "*", "Condition": { "StringEquals": { "aws:SourceArn": "arn:aws:tax:us-east-1:${YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID}:*", "aws:SourceAccount": "${YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID}" } } } ] }
To give Tax Settings access to AWS KMS for SSE-KMS encrypted S3 buckets
