Accountants for Amazon sellers
Amazon selling generates the messiest clean data in retail: every fee itemised across settlement reports almost nobody reads, VAT part-collected by Amazon depending on route, FBA inventory sitting in warehouses you'll never see, and margins that look healthy until storage fees, returns and advertising are truly allocated. We read the reports properly — that's the whole difference.
How we handle it
From monthly bookkeeping built on settlement data (not bank deposits) to VAT returns that respect marketplace-collected versus self-accounted sales, through to year-end accounts and the seller-specific questions: when to VAT-register, whether pan-EU FBA's tax obligations are worth its fees, and what your business would actually show a buyer.

Terms you'll meet along the way
Making Tax Digital (MTD)
HMRC's regime requiring digital records and software-filed returns — long mandatory for VAT, arriving for Income Tax from April 2026.
Flat Rate Scheme
Pay HMRC a fixed percentage of turnover instead of tracking every input. Simpler, but the 16.5% limited-cost-trader rate killed the old easy win for many.
Input vs output VAT
Output VAT is what you charge customers; input VAT is what you pay suppliers. You hand HMRC the difference — which is why missed input claims are pure loss.
Penalty points
Each late VAT return earns a point; at your threshold (4 for quarterly filers) every late return costs £200. Points expire after sustained good behaviour.
Reconciliation
Matching your books to the bank, transaction by transaction — the discipline that makes every other number trustworthy.
Chart of accounts
The category structure your transactions are coded into. A generic one makes reports vague; a tailored one makes them useful.
Aged debtors/creditors
Who owes you and whom you owe, banded by how overdue — the two lists that predict cash flow problems before the bank balance does.
Statutory accounts
The formal year-end accounts every company must file at Companies House — publicly visible, prepared to FRS standards.
Accountants for Amazon sellers: your questions answered
Amazon already collects VAT on some of my sales — do I still need to register?
Often yes. Amazon collects where it's deemed supplier (typically overseas sellers' B2C UK sales), but UK-established sellers generally account for their own UK VAT, and the £90,000 threshold applies to your taxable turnover. Route-by-route mapping — UK FBA, exports, B2B — decides your true position; guessing it wrong compounds monthly.
How do I know my real profit per product?
Take the settlement data and allocate everything: referral and FBA fees per unit, storage (including long-term surcharges), returns and their fees, advertising per SKU, and landed product cost. Sellers who do this usually find a hero product subsidising quiet losers — which is exactly the decision data the exercise exists to produce.
FBA inventory — how is it accounted and taxed?
Stock is an asset until sold; cost of goods hits your P&L on sale, not purchase — so a big restock month isn't a loss and a destocking month isn't a boom. Yearly reconciliation against Amazon's inventory reports (with write-offs for lost, damaged and disposed units, which Amazon does reimburse partially) keeps the accounts and reality aligned.
Amazon already collects VAT on some of my sales — what's left to do?
Marketplaces collect VAT in specific cases (like overseas sellers' UK sales), but UK-established sellers still account for VAT on most sales, reclaim input VAT, and must report everything correctly. Mixing up 'marketplace-collected' and 'seller-collected' revenue is the most common e-commerce VAT error we fix.
Why don't my bank deposits match my sales?
Because marketplaces deposit net settlements — sales minus fees, refunds, reserves and adjustments, across date boundaries. Proper e-commerce bookkeeping reconciles the settlement reports, not the bank line. That's exactly what we do monthly.
When do I have to register for VAT?
When your taxable turnover in any rolling 12-month period passes £90,000 — a rolling test, not your accounting year, and the most common way businesses get caught out. We monitor it for bookkeeping clients automatically.
Which VAT scheme is best for me?
It depends on your margins and customers. The flat-rate scheme suits some service businesses; cash accounting helps if customers pay slowly; standard suits most. We'll compare them for your numbers before registering you.
Which bookkeeping software do you use?
Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent — whichever suits your business (or whichever you already use). Software subscription can be included in your monthly fee, and we handle all the setup and migration.
What counts as a transaction?
Each line on your bank statement — a payment in or out. Most one-person businesses sit comfortably under 50 a month. If you drift over your band we'll tell you before the fee changes, never after.
My company hasn't traded — do I still need to file?
Yes. Even dormant companies must file accounts at Companies House and usually a confirmation statement. Our dormant package (£99) handles it all so you avoid penalties for a company that isn't even trading.
Which accounting standard will my accounts use?
Most small companies file micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 or small-company accounts under FRS 102 Section 1A. We pick the right one for your size and circumstances — it affects what's disclosed publicly at Companies House, and we'll explain the trade-offs.
