This section provides answers to tax collection, VAT, and billing address questions for Kiro.
Amazon Web Services, Inc. is the service provider for Kiro. Amazon Web Services, Inc. ("AWSI") is established and operates in the United States. AWSI is registered for Sales Tax in the states shown here. AWSI is also registered for VAT in countries where indirect tax laws require foreign providers of Electronically Supplied Services ("ESS") to register and collect local VAT. AWSI treats Kiro as Downloaded Software in the USA and as ESS outside of the USA. If required by your country's Indirect Tax laws, AWS will collect Indirect Taxes from you, issue a tax invoice, and remit it to the tax authority in AWS's name. In some countries, AWS is not required to collect Indirect Taxes from you and remit it to the tax authority in AWS's name if you have a valid tax registration number ("TRN") in that country. You need to add your TRN to your Stripe Account Customer Profile, and you may be required to self-assess VAT depending on local regulations.

AWS will use your customer billing address you provide when purchasing Kiro. If the billing address entered is invalid, you will get a customer_tax_location_invalid error.
Kiro is billed using a different platform (not the AWS Console). If you are a B2B customer who has provided its TRN in your AWS Account, you will need to also include for your Kiro account through your customer portal. In addition, certain jurisdictions require AWS to charge and collect tax on both B2B and B2C purchases, in these jurisdictions AWS is responsible, and you will not be able to Self-Assess.
AWS will use your billing address at the time of your purchase, or changes to your subscription such as upgrades or renewals.
Special status/relief status from paying VAT is coming soon.
We accept all major credit cards. Kiro usage is invoiced in USD.
Please contact Kiro billing support.
Kiro will accept TRNs based on the requirements set forth by the country in which the customer is located. When a customer adds a TRN, Kiro will check that the formatting is correct.
