Amazon FBA Accountants UK
Specialist Amazon FBA accountants for UK sellers. We connect Seller Central to Xero with Link My Books and keep VAT and year-end accounts on track.
What is Amazon FBA?
Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) is a service that allows sellers to store their products in Amazon’s fulfilment centers. Amazon handles storage, packaging, shipping, and customer service for these products. This means that sellers benefit from Amazon’s vast distribution network and customer service infrastructure, but they need specialised Amazon business accounting to manage the complexities of fees, inventory, and sales.
- Amazon FBA allows sellers to leverage Amazon’s logistics capabilities.
- FBA Sellers benefit from Prime eligibility and Amazon’s customer service.
- Requires detailed tracking of inventory, fees, and shipping costs.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Amazon FBA accountant cost?
eAccounts’ Amazon FBA accounting packages start from £29 + VAT per month. Your monthly fee includes a dedicated accountant, unlimited support, Xero accounting software, and full HMRC compliance. There are no hidden fees — just a fixed monthly price tailored to your business.
Do I need an accountant for Amazon FBA?
You do not legally need one, but FBA accounts are harder to keep than most. Each Amazon settlement mixes sales, refunds, referral and FBA fees, advertising and VAT, and your stock sits in Amazon’s warehouses rather than yours. An Amazon FBA accountant reconciles those settlements, tracks your inventory costs and makes sure your VAT and tax returns are right.
What does an Amazon FBA accountant do?
An Amazon FBA accountant handles bookkeeping, VAT returns, self-assessment or corporation tax returns, payroll, and year-end accounts. They also reconcile your Amazon settlements, track FBA fees and inventory costs, integrate your Amazon account with Xero, and provide ongoing advice to help you maximise profitability and reduce your tax bill.
What is Amazon FBA and how does it affect my accounting?
Amazon FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) means Amazon handles storage, packaging, and shipping of your products from their UK fulfilment centres. While this simplifies logistics, it introduces financial complexity — multiple fee structures, inventory movements, returns, and varying sales channels all require specialist accounting to track accurately and remain tax compliant.
How do you integrate with my Amazon FBA account?
eAccounts uses Link My Books to connect directly to your Amazon Seller Central account and sync your data automatically into Xero. This eliminates manual data entry, keeps your accounts up to date in real time, and gives you clear visibility of your FBA finances. As a Xero Platinum Partner, we are experts in this integration.
Do I need to register for VAT as an Amazon FBA seller?
You must register for VAT in the UK once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month period. If your business is based outside the UK, there is no threshold: you must register as soon as you supply goods in the UK. Selling to EU customers brings separate EU VAT rules, covered below. eAccounts can assess your VAT obligations and handle your VAT registration and returns on your behalf.
Does Amazon charge VAT on its seller fees?
Yes, for UK-based sellers since 1 August 2024. Amazon now adds 20% UK VAT to referral fees, advertising and storage fees on Amazon’s UK marketplace, and to FBA fees for orders sent from UK warehouses to UK customers. FBA fees for orders fulfilled from outside Great Britain are handled under the reverse charge instead. If you are VAT registered you can usually reclaim this VAT on your VAT return. If you are not registered, or you use the Flat Rate Scheme, it is an extra cost to budget for.
Can you help with VAT for Amazon sellers selling in Europe?
Yes. eAccounts supports Amazon FBA sellers with UK VAT registration and returns, as well as EU VAT compliance including the One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme and IOSS for distance selling. We help you understand your obligations across multiple EU countries and ensure you remain fully compliant as you expand internationally.
What expenses can I claim as an Amazon FBA seller?
As an Amazon FBA seller you can typically claim Amazon seller fees, FBA fulfilment and storage fees, cost of goods sold, packaging, advertising spend, software subscriptions such as Xero and Link My Books, professional accountancy fees, and a proportion of home office costs if applicable. eAccounts will ensure you claim every allowable expense to reduce your tax bill legally.
Can eAccounts help if I sell on other platforms as well as Amazon?
Yes. eAccounts specialises in multi-channel eCommerce accounting. We work with sellers across Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop, Vinted, Whatnot, Temu and more. If you sell across multiple platforms, we consolidate all your income and expenses into one clear set of accounts, giving you a complete picture of your overall profitability.
