Amazon collecting GST/HST and not refunding it to seller
Hi Everyone,
I am selling my products through FBA Canada starting this year. I am located in Ontario. As part of the payments, I am not receiving any HST that is paid by the customer for purchasing my product and it goes to Amazon directly. Will Amazon directly file HST for all the purchases on my company's behalf to the Canada Revenue Authority since I haven't received any HST amount from the customer through Amazon? I appreciate your input here. One more thing, I am yet to get my GST/HST number from CRA.

No, Amazon will not directly file HST for all the purchases "on your company's behalf".
Once you do, you will get the GST / HST from Amazon to remit yourself. Amazon doesn't remit on your behalf if you have not entered a GST/HST number.

No, Amazon will not credit the HST amount of all your previous purchases to your bank account.

You said you haven't registered to collect it yet as you don't have a number yet from the CRA:
