When does Amazon make the GST report available each month?

Amazon generates the monthly GST report on the 5th of every calendar month and sends a confirmation email typically around the 2nd. Wait for this email before trying to download.

Which Amazon report should I use for GSTR-1 filing — MTR or Ready-to-File?

Download both. The Merchant Tax Report (MTR) gives you the complete transaction-level data including Document Series (invoice sequence), while the Ready-to-File report gives you the pre-categorised GSTR-1 summary. Both are needed for accurate filing.

Can I download the Amazon GST report from the mobile app?

Avoid using the Amazon Seller App for downloading tax reports. Use a laptop or PC. If you must use mobile, open amazon.in in your browser and switch to Desktop Site mode before downloading.

What is Document Series in GSTR-1 and where do I find it?

Document Series refers to the invoice number range (e.g., INV-001 to INV-245) that you need to declare in GSTR-1. This information is available only in the Merchant Tax Report (MTR), not in the Ready-to-File report.

How to Download GSTR-1 Report from Amazon Seller Central (2026 Guide)

1. Before You Start — Wait for the Email

Don't waste time looking for the report before it's ready.

Amazon generates your monthly GST reports on the 5th of every calendar month. However, from my personal experience, you usually receive a confirmation email around the 2nd of the month telling you the report is available.

💡 Pro Tip Watch your inbox for an email from Amazon with subject lines like "Your GST reports are now available" or similar. This is the most reliable signal that your report is ready to download. No need to log in and check every day.

⚠️ Important Note Amazon has announced a known tech issue: Consolidated Return (CONRET) transactions for October 2025 through February 2026 will be reported in the Stock Transfer Report for March 2026. If you are filing for these months, please consult your tax consultant before filing.

2. Where to Find the GST Report

The menu path can feel confusing the first time — here's exactly where to go.

Log in to Amazon Seller Central (sellercentral.amazon.in) on a laptop or desktop browser. Once you're on the homepage, follow this navigation path:

1

Open the Hamburger Menu (☰)

Click the three-line menu icon (☰) at the top-left corner of the Seller Central homepage.

Choose Your Download Option — Two Ways to Get Your Report

You'll now see the Manage Taxes → GST Reporting page with three cards. There are two reports you need to download:

a) GST Monthly Reports — This gives you the full transaction-level Merchant Tax Report (MTR). Click "Download Report" under the first card.

b) GST Ready-to-File Reports — This gives you the pre-formatted GSTR-1 summary (Monthly or Quarterly). Click "Download Report" under the third card.

Manage Taxes → GST Reporting

Step 5: The GST Reporting page — Download Report under "GST Monthly Reports" (MTR) or "GST Ready-to-File Reports" (GSTR-1 summary)

ℹ️ Two Entry Points There are two report sections in Seller Central — "Tax Document Library" (for Merchant Tax Reports) and "Manage Taxes → GST Reporting" (for the full GST monthly and ready-to-file reports). Both are useful. This guide covers Manage Taxes → GST Reporting since that's where the GSTR-1 filing data lives.

3. Which Report to Download — MTR vs Ready-to-File

Amazon gives you multiple options. Here's what each one means.

On the GST Reporting page, you'll see three report types. Understanding the difference is key to filing your GSTR-1 correctly.

Feature	GST Monthly Reports (MTR)	GST Ready-to-File Reports
Full name	Merchant Tax Report (MTR)	GSTR-1 Monthly / Quarterly
Data type	Transaction-level (each order)	Pre-summarised GSTR-1 format
B2B sales (GSTIN buyers)	✓ Included	✓ Included
Document Series (invoice range)	✓ Available	✗ Not available
HSN-wise summary	Manual work needed	✓ Pre-calculated
State-wise breakup	Manual work needed	✓ Pre-calculated
File format	ZIP (CSV inside)	ZIP (Excel inside)
Best for	Cross-verification, document series	Quick filing reference

💡 My Recommendation — Download Both The Ready-to-File report is convenient but it does NOT include the Document Series (invoice sequence) that the GST portal requires. For that, you need the MTR. Download both every month, and use a tool like our GSTR-1 Calculator to combine them accurately.

4. Step-by-Step Download Guide

Exact steps for downloading the MTR (Monthly Tax Report) and the Ready-to-File report.

Part A — Download GST Monthly Report (MTR)

1

Click "Download Report" under GST Monthly Reports

On the GST Reporting page, click the "Download Report" button under the GST Monthly Reports card (the first card on the left).

2

Select Report Type: Merchant Tax Report (MTR)

On the next page, under "Select Report Type," choose Merchant Tax Report (MTR). Leave the "Stock Transfer Report (STR)" unselected unless you have FBA inventory transfers to report.

3

Select Include Transactions: B2B and/or B2C

On the right side, you'll see "Include Transactions" with B2B and B2C options. Select B2C for regular consumer sales. If you also have GST-registered buyers, select both B2B and B2C.

4

Select Year and Month, then Download

Choose the correct year (e.g., 2026) and month (e.g., April) from the dropdowns. Click the teal "Download Report" button. A ZIP file will download containing your CSV transaction data.

Go back to the GST Reporting page. Click "Download Report" under the GST Ready-to-File Reports card (the third card on the right).

2

Select Report Type: GSTR-1 Monthly or Quarterly

Choose GSTR-1 Monthly if you file monthly. Choose GSTR-1 Quarterly if you're on the QRMP (Quarterly Return Monthly Payment) scheme.

3

Select Year, Month, and Download

Pick the correct year and month, then click "Download Report". This downloads an Excel file with Amazon's pre-formatted GSTR-1 summary.

⚠️ Amazon UI May Change Over Time Amazon updates its Seller Central interface periodically. The button names and layouts in this guide are accurate as of May 2026. If you notice any changes, the core navigation path Reports → Tax Document Library → Merchant Tax Report remains the standard way to access your GST data.

5. Personal Tips from My Own Experience

Things I wish I knew when I started selling on Amazon.

1. Don't use the Amazon Seller App for tax reports. I've tried it — the app is great for order management, but downloading and opening tax files on mobile is a mess. Files either don't download properly or open in an incompatible viewer. Always use a laptop or PC for this.

2. If you must use your phone, use Desktop Mode. Open your browser (Chrome works best), go to sellercentral.amazon.in, tap the three dots menu → check "Desktop site." This gives you the full interface. It's not perfect but it works for downloading.

3. The Ready-to-File report is missing Document Series. This is a big gap. The GST portal asks you to declare the invoice number range (Document Series) — e.g., from invoice #1 to invoice #312. This information is only in the MTR, not in the Ready-to-File report. So don't skip the MTR download even if the Ready-to-File report looks complete.

4. Always cross-check B2B totals. I download both reports and verify that the B2B sale totals match between the MTR and the Ready-to-File summary. If they don't match, there's usually a data issue worth investigating before you file.

5. Wait for the email — don't panic on the 1st. I used to check Seller Central on the 1st of every month and wonder why the report wasn't there. Now I just wait for Amazon's notification email. Much less stressful.

6. Common Mistakes to Avoid ❌

These small errors can cause big headaches at the time of filing.

🚫 What NOT to Do with Your Amazon Tax Report

Don't rename the downloaded file. The file name that Amazon gives (e.g., MTR-B2B-2026-04.csv) carries important metadata. Renaming it can cause processing errors in tools or confuse you later when you have multiple months' files.
Don't open the CSV file in Excel and "Save As." Opening an Amazon MTR CSV in Excel and saving it as .xlsx changes the data format. Excel automatically reformats dates, GST numbers, and numeric values — this corrupts the data. Always upload the original downloaded file directly to your calculator or CA.
Don't manually edit the data inside the CSV. Even a single extra space, comma, or deleted row can break calculations. If you think there's an error in the data, raise it with Amazon support — don't edit the raw file yourself.
Don't download from the Amazon Seller App. The mobile app may not download the file correctly, and you cannot verify if the ZIP extracted properly on a phone. Always use a laptop or desktop for tax report downloads.
Don't use the "On Demand Report" as a substitute for the Monthly Report. On Demand Reports cover only the last 45 days and may not align exactly with the calendar month boundaries required for GSTR-1 filing. Always use the GST Monthly Report for monthly filings.

7. What to Do After Downloading

The download is just step one — here's how to turn it into a filed return.

Once you have both the MTR (ZIP/CSV) and the Ready-to-File (ZIP/Excel) reports downloaded, the next step is to process them into the GSTR-1 format your CA or the GST portal expects.

If you're selling on multiple platforms (Amazon + Flipkart + Meesho), you'll need to combine the reports from all three and generate a single state-wise and HSN-wise summary. Doing this manually in Excel is error-prone and time-consuming.

That's exactly why we built the Thoiba Trader GSTR-1 Calculator — upload your Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho reports in one go, and get a ready-to-use Excel summary in under 4 minutes. No manual Excel work. No state-wise sorting headaches.
