You generally can’t claim the full Amazon Prime fee if the account is used partly for personal purchases. In most tax systems, only the portion of the membership that is genuinely related to business use may be deductible, and you should use a reasonable method to allocate it.
If about half your orders are personal and half are business-related, that may support claiming some portion of the fee, but it does not automatically mean exactly 50% is deductible. The right allocation depends on facts such as how you use Prime, what records you keep, and the rules in your jurisdiction.
A practical approach is:
- Keep business and personal orders separated as much as possible.
- Save records showing which purchases were for business.
- Use a reasonable allocation method that reflects actual business use.
- If the business use is minor or hard to document, consider not claiming the membership fee.
