Accountants for e-commerce sellers

Online sellers cross the £90,000 VAT threshold faster than most businesses. Marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay report sales to HMRC, and selling from overseas stock or importing goods adds import VAT and customs paperwork. Postponed VAT accounting can ease the cash flow on imports.

We set up your registration, your VAT scheme and your import treatment so the returns match what the platforms report.

• Threshold monitored monthly
• Import VAT and postponed accounting
• Marketplace reports reconciled

The numbers that matter most for a seller are gross sales, marketplace fees, refunds, postage and the cost of goods sold. Payouts from Amazon, Shopify, Stripe and PayPal arrive net of fees and in batches, so they never match the bank without careful reconciling.

We connect your sales channels to your software, so every order, fee and refund is recorded and your margin is accurate.

• Channels connected to your ledger
• Fees and refunds coded
• Stock and cost of sales tracked

Selling on your own website, several marketplaces and in other countries multiplies the filings. Each country may have its own VAT rules, and a business can find itself needing to register abroad without realising.

We look at where your customers are and what that triggers, before it becomes a penalty.

• Overseas VAT exposure reviewed
• Multi-channel reporting
• Pricing and margin analysis
