Common Questions from Online Sellers
Do I need to register for VAT as an online seller?
In the UK, you must register for VAT once your taxable turnover passes the current registration threshold in any rolling 12 month period. Many online sellers also need to consider VAT obligations in other countries once they sell to overseas customers, particularly within the EU. As your dedicated ecommerce accountant, we monitor your turnover across all platforms and let you know well before you reach the threshold, so registration is never a last minute scramble.
How do you handle Amazon and marketplace fees in the accounts?
Marketplaces such as Amazon deduct referral fees, fulfilment fees and advertising costs before paying you out, which can make your bank statement very different from your actual sales figures. We reconcile every payout back to the underlying sales, fees and refunds, so your accounts reflect what really happened in your business rather than just the net cash that landed in your bank.
Can you work with my existing software?
Yes. We regularly work with cloud accounting software alongside e-commerce integration tools that pull sales data automatically from Amazon, Shopify, Etsy and WooCommerce. If you are not yet using compatible software, we can recommend and help you set up a system that fits your sales volume and budget, and that keeps you compliant with Making Tax Digital requirements.
How much does ecommerce accounting cost?
Costs depend on your sales volume, the number of platforms you sell on, and whether you need extra support such as payroll or forecasting. We offer clear, fixed-fee packages so you always know what you are paying, with no surprise bills at year end. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific online business. Most sellers find that our fees pay for themselves through the tax savings, reclaimed VAT and time we help them recover.
