Upload eBay sales data

If you are not using Global Tax Determination or an API to share transaction data with Sales Tax Filing, you need to upload your transactions in a file.

CAUTION:

Transaction data must be uploaded by the fourth business day of each month. If the data is not uploaded by then, Sovos can't guarantee that the return will be filed on time in that filing period.

Formatting requirements:

  • Make sure that your file is in CSV UTF-8 format.

  • Add a column to the report file with the header tax. Sovos will use this column to combine any values in Sales Tax and eBay Collected Tax into a single record called Tax, which will map to the Tax Amount field.

  • Add a column with the header "Marketplace code".

  • Add a column with the header "Exempt".

  • Make sure that the date format for Order Date is MM/DD/YYYY.

  • The following fields are processed automatically. These are mandatory fields, so make sure that all of them are in the file you are uploading:
