AWS Automates VAT and supports Korean Won for South Korea AWS Marketplace customers

Amazon Web Services Korea LLC (AWS Korea) is now facilitating AWS Marketplace transactions for customers with AWS accounts in South Korea. AWS Korea enhances the purchasing experience by automatically including applicable Value Added Tax (VAT) on invoices and allowing payments in Korean Won (KRW) for AWS Marketplace purchases. Independent software vendors (ISVs) and Channel Partners from South Korea are now eligible to sell software in AWS Marketplace.

Customers can now directly procure software from South Korean ISVs, and can pay for purchases using wire transfers in either KRW or US Dollars (USD), or by using credit cards in KRW only. Purchases can also be made through local Channel Partners in South Korea, allowing customers to benefit from local relationships, expertise, and support. AWS Korea manages VAT obligations for all transactions, including those between ISVs and Channel Partners. AWS Korea automates VAT collection and invoicing for all third-party product purchases, except Amazon Bedrock products. AWS, Inc. will continue to be the contracting party for purchases of AWS services and Amazon Bedrock offerings. Customers can now purchase software from South Korean ISVs such as Saltlux, Hackle, Superb AI, and Neosapience, and from Channel Partners such as MegazoneCloud, LG CNS, BespinGlobal, and SK C&C.

For sellers, an additional regional listing fee of 1% will be applied to the standard AWS Marketplace listing fees for their transactions with Korean buyers.
