The problem with general accountants
A general accountant treats your Amazon payout as revenue, missing FBA fees, advertising costs and returns already deducted. You could pay tax on money you never received.

How eCommerce Accounting Can Help Your Online Store
VAT Compliance for eCommerce Sellers
Understanding VAT regulations is crucial for eCommerce businesses selling in the UK.
We offer expert advice on VAT registration, returns, and compliance, helping you avoid costly mistakes. So, whether you exceed the VAT threshold of £90,000 or sell internationally, our team ensures your VAT responsibilities are met.
Tax Planning and Optimisation
Effective tax planning is vital for maximising your profits. Our eCommerce accountants analyse your business structure and develop strategies to reduce tax liability.
We handle everything from self-assessment to corporation tax for limited companies, helping you keep more of your money.
Bookkeeping Tailored for eCommerce Businesses
Proper bookkeeping is the foundation of successful eCommerce businesses. At eAccounts, we handle your daily transactions, categorise expenses, and prepare statements to keep you financially organised.
With Xero’s direct integration, we ensure your books are always precise and up-to-date.
Annual Accounts and Financial Statements
Getting year-end accounts ready can take a lot of time, especially if you sell on more than one platform.
Our e-commerce accounting services take care of everything, from financial statements to profit and loss reports. By handling your annual accounts, we give you valuable insights into your business performance, helping you make data-driven decisions.
Payroll Services for eCommerce Business Owners
If you employ staff, our payroll services simplify wage calculations, tax deductions, and reporting. We ensure compliance with PAYE regulations, offering secure, accurate payroll processing that saves you time.
So, let us handle your payroll so you can focus on what matters -growing your eCommerce business.
Register once your taxable turnover for the last 12 months goes over £90,000, or you expect it to in the next 30 days. For multi-platform sellers this can happen faster than expected. We monitor and handle registration when needed.
Selling to EU customers? You may need the One Stop Shop scheme. For goods in consignments worth €150 or less imported into the EU, IOSS applies. We handle registrations, filings and compliance.
All VAT-registered businesses must use MTD-compatible software. Xero is fully compliant — your eAccounts setup meets all MTD obligations from day one.
If your business is based in the UK, you account for the VAT on your marketplace sales yourself. Marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay and Etsy only charge and account for the VAT when goods are sold by overseas sellers from stock in the UK, or imported in consignments worth £135 or less. We make sure your books treat each type of sale correctly.
Self-Assessment and Corporation Tax Services
Our team manages your self-assessment and corporation tax obligations, making sure your taxes are submitted precisely and on time.
We also reduce your tax bill by making sure you claim every allowable expense and relief that applies to an eCommerce business.
Inventory Management and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) Calculations
For eCommerce businesses, precisely tracking inventory and COGS is key.
We help you manage your stock and work out COGS, so your profits and expenses line up. This lets you see the true financial health of your business, making it easier to plan for growth.
Up and running in days, not weeks
Most clients are fully set up within a few days.
Use our online quote tool for a personalised price — tailored to your platforms and business structure.
Our onboarding team connects your platforms to Xero via Link My Books, sets up bank feeds and configures VAT from day one.

Bookkeeping, VAT returns, payroll, year-end accounts and tax filings — all handled. Contact your accountant any time.

Incorporation, VAT registration, VAT returns and Xero bookkeeping for a multi-channel seller.
“Thoroughly recommend eAccounts, anyone reading this I wouldn't hesitate to reach out and chat to one of the guys. We run a multi channel e-Commerce selling business, up till now I've been doing my best to muddle through. Kris and Dan have guided me through incorporating, registering for VAT, VAT returns, learning book-keeping on Xero, fixing my inevitable mistakes. Dan has been super patient with me given a whole bunch of naive questions combined with me juggling two jobs and taking forever to do tasks, I'm almost certainly not the easiest client on the books, but he's kept me safe of deadlines and true to the tax laws and informed throughout can't really ask for much more from an accountant.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an ecommerce accountant do?
An eCommerce accountant manages bookkeeping, VAT returns, corporation tax or self-assessment, year-end accounts and payroll for online sellers. They reconcile marketplace settlements, correctly categorise platform fees and integrate your selling platforms with Xero. Unlike a general accountant, they understand the specific complexities of Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, TikTok Shop and other platforms.
How much does an eCommerce accountant cost in the UK?
eAccounts packages start from £29 + VAT per month. Your fixed fee covers your dedicated accountant, Xero subscription, Link My Books integration, VAT returns, bookkeeping and unlimited support. No hourly charges, no hidden fees.
Do I need a specialist eCommerce accountant?
For eCommerce sellers, particularly those on Amazon, Shopify or multiple platforms, a specialist is strongly recommended. General accountants frequently make errors with settlements, fee deductions, VAT treatment and COGS calculations. These errors can mean you overpay tax or face HMRC compliance issues. A specialist gets it right from day one.
Can eAccounts handle multiple selling platforms?
Yes. We work with sellers across Amazon FBA and FBM, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, TikTok Shop, Vinted, Whatnot, Temu, Walmart, WooCommerce and more. We consolidate all your channels into one accurate set of accounts.
When do I need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month period. For multi-platform sellers this can happen faster than expected when sales across all channels are combined. If your business is based outside the UK, there is no threshold: you must register as soon as you supply goods in the UK. eAccounts monitors your turnover and advises you in advance.
How does Link My Books work?
Link My Books connects directly to your marketplace accounts — Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy and others — and automatically imports your settlement data into Xero. It correctly splits fees, VAT, sales and refunds, eliminating manual entry. We set this up and manage it for you as part of your package.
What is Making Tax Digital and does it affect eCommerce sellers?
MTD requires all VAT-registered businesses to keep digital records and file returns using compatible software. Xero is fully MTD-compliant. Your eAccounts setup meets all MTD obligations from day one without any extra effort on your part.
Can you help if I sell internationally?
Yes. We handle EU VAT registration, OSS and IOSS for EU sales, and multi-currency bookkeeping. If you sell internationally we ensure you remain compliant across all relevant territories.
How do I switch from my current accountant?
We handle the entire switch. Once you sign up we contact your previous accountant, request the professional handover, obtain all relevant records and onboard you onto our systems. Most clients are fully set up within a few days with no disruption to compliance deadlines.
