Accountant for Amazon Sellers

Tax, VAT, and FBA support for Amazon businesses

Selling on Amazon—whether through FBA or FBM—comes with enough moving parts without tax getting in the way. Between storage fees, sales tax, stock shipping and marketplace rules, it’s easy to lose track of what’s actually profit.

At Yorkshire Accountancy, we help Amazon sellers across the UK manage their books, understand their VAT position, and grow their business with confidence. As your accountant for Amazon sellers, we’ll keep your finances under control while you focus on sales and stock.

Selling on multiple platforms? Our e-commerce accountancy services will provide all the support you need.

Who we help

We support:

  • Amazon FBA sellers (UK and overseas)
  • Private label brands
  • Amazon FBM and hybrid sellers
  • Sole traders and limited companies
  • UK-based sellers with EU/US customers

Whether you sell on Amazon alone or across multiple platforms, we’ll tailor your accounting to suit your exact setup.

Self-employed Amazon seller tax advice

Many sellers start as sole traders, especially when launching their first products. We provide specialist self-employed Amazon seller tax advice to help you:

  • Register with HMRC
  • Track income from Amazon settlements
  • Reconcile fees, refunds, VAT, and ad spend
  • Understand when to switch to a limited company
  • Claim every allowable expense
  • Budget for payments on account

We make sure your return reflects your real profit—not just what Amazon sends you in a payout.

What expenses can Amazon sellers claim?

Amazon’s fee structure is messy—but we’ll help you untangle it and claim everything correctly.

Claimable expenses include:

  • Amazon seller fees and referral fees
  • FBA storage, fulfilment and labelling costs
  • Postage, courier and packaging materials
  • Cost of stock (including imports and customs)
  • Software and subscriptions (Helium 10, Jungle Scout, repricers, etc.)
  • Product photography and editing
  • Design services and logo creation
  • Product liability insurance
  • Training and courses
  • Accountant and bookkeeping software

Often-missed expenses:

  • Customs duty, freight charges and delivery from suppliers
  • Amazon ads (PPC, video ads, offsite campaigns)
  • Returns handling costs
  • Equipment like barcode scanners, scales, or printers
  • A2X, Link My Books or automated reconciliation tools
  • Part of your home used for stock storage or admin

We’ll help you build a clear digital record and reconcile payouts with expenses for a clean, compliant tax return.

Going limited as an Amazon seller

Switching to a limited company may reduce your tax—but timing it right is key.

We’ll walk you through:

  • How to handle stock held under your sole trader name
  • Transitioning Amazon Seller Central to a company account
  • What happens with VAT thresholds
  • Taking income via dividends and salary
  • How to register, setup payroll, and stay compliant

We’ll handle the transition and support you each step of the way, including how to pay yourself properly and legally.

VAT and Amazon sellers

Amazon and VAT is where most sellers trip up—especially those using FBA or selling internationally.

We’ll help you:

  • Register for VAT (or decide if/when you need to)
  • Deal with Amazon’s VAT Calculation Service (VCS)
  • Use One Stop Shop (OSS) for EU sales
  • Reclaim VAT on advertising, Amazon fees and imported goods
  • Understand reverse charge on platform and software fees
  • Avoid double VAT or being charged VAT by Amazon incorrectly

If you’re selling B2C in the EU or using Pan-EU FBA, we’ll explain exactly what registrations you do (or don’t) need.

Making Tax Digital for Amazon sellers

If your turnover exceeds £50,000 as a sole trader—or you’re VAT registered—you need to follow MTD rules.

We offer:

  • QuickBooks or Xero setup (plus training)
  • Free QuickBooks licence for new clients (offer valid March 2025)
  • A2X or Link My Books integration
  • Quarterly MTD filing and real-time reviews
  • Support across UK, EU, and US sales channels

We’ll help you stay MTD-compliant without you lifting a finger.
