Amazon10-Q: Inflation impact

Amazon contests tax liability in India for AWS cloud services fees

What happened

The Indian tax authority claims that AWS cloud service fees are taxable in India, creating a potential material financial liability for current and prior periods.

Filing excerpt

For example, the Indian tax authority has asserted that tax applies to cloud services fees paid to Amazon in the U.S. We are contesting this position; however, if this matter is adversely resolved, we may be required to pay additional amounts with respect to current and prior periods and our taxes in the future could increase.
