Amazon Sellers Accounting

    UK Amazon FBA and FBM sellers face complex VAT obligations including standard UK VAT on domestic sales, the One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme for EU sales post-Brexit, import VAT on goods stored in Amazon's European fulfilment centres, and platform reporting to HMRC. Amazon fee structures — including referral fees, FBA fees, storage fees, and advertising costs — require careful reconciliation against settlement reports.

    Our Amazon seller accounting services cover Amazon settlement report reconciliation, VAT registration and returns for UK and EU markets, FBA inventory movement tracking across fulfilment centres, fee analysis and profitability by SKU, advertising cost tracking, import VAT and customs declarations, and Corporation Tax planning. We help Amazon sellers understand their true margins and stay fully compliant with HMRC.
