Digital service fee
Have you noticed that Amazon is making UK sellers pay a Digital services fee of 2% from October 1? This is some kind of joke

they did before. This is to do with the digital services tax and it’s so Amazon (who it was aimed at) don’t have to worry about paying it.
Apparently all the fees have been slightly reduced (the tax used to be included in the fees) and it’s being presented separately now

Amazon Statement re Digtal tax
On October 1, we’ll introduce a stand-alone digital services fee for digital services taxes (DST) implemented by the governments of the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Canada.
The typical DST rate is 2% in the UK and 3% in France, Italy, Spain and Canada. Since 2021, we’ve accounted for DST by increasing Selling on Amazon fees in the UK, France, Italy and Spain, and FBA fees in the UK and France. Starting on October 1, we’ll reduce these fees and account for this cost by introducing a stand-alone digital services fee.
DST charges are unpredictable as they vary based on the location of your business, the location of the buyer and other factors. Rather than base the stand-alone digital services fee on these location variables, which would create an unpredictable business impact because you can’t know the location of the customers who will buy your products, we’ll introduce a fixed digital services fee based only on your location and the store in which you sell.
If your business is established in the UK, the digital services fee will apply as a percentage increase to Selling on Amazon fees and FBA fees
