Accountant for Amazon FBA Sellers UK
Amazon FBA accounting is different from ordinary bookkeeping. Settlement payouts combine sales, refunds, fees, advertising and VAT, so your accounts need to reconcile back to Amazon, not just the bank. NDCA handles this monthly, for a fixed fee, as an ACCA-regulated practice.
As an accountant for Amazon FBA sellers UK, NDCA works with sellers from your first FBA shipment through to multi-marketplace accounts trading across amazon.co.uk, amazon.de and beyond. We handle bookkeeping, VAT, Corporation Tax and Self Assessment.

Accountant for Amazon FBA Sellers UK: How You Get Paid
Amazon settles your money on its own schedule, after its own deductions, which makes your bookkeeping look nothing like a normal sales ledger.
Settlement payouts
Amazon settlement reports contain far more detail than the amount reaching your bank: sales, refunds, referral fees, FBA fulfilment fees, storage charges and advertising spend are all netted off first. We reconcile each report line by line.
FBA, FBM and Amazon Business
Many sellers run Fulfilled by Amazon and Fulfilled by Merchant stock side by side, and Amazon Business orders can carry different VAT and invoicing considerations to ordinary consumer sales. We keep all of it separated and correctly recorded.
Multi-marketplace and Pan-European FBA
Selling across amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr and other European marketplaces, or using Pan-European FBA, can create additional VAT obligations depending on where your stock is stored and where you sell.
Private label and bundles
If you manufacture or bundle your own products, your true margin depends on properly tracking cost of goods sold, including freight, import duty and other directly attributable costs.
We also handle your VAT returns, bookkeeping and Self Assessment, and if you also sell on Shopify, see our e-commerce and retail hub.
Tax and VAT for Amazon FBA Sellers
Amazon VAT rules depend on where you are based, where your stock is held and who you sell to, not just turnover.
VAT registration
As an accountant for Amazon FBA sellers UK, UK VAT registration is generally required once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000, though treatment is more complex for imported, overseas-stored or multi-country sales. Overseas sellers holding UK stock can have obligations from their first sale, and Amazon’s own marketplace rules may also apply.
Marketplace facilitator rules
Amazon may collect and remit UK VAT on certain transactions under marketplace facilitator rules, but this does not remove every obligation, particularly if you hold UK stock or use fulfilment centres elsewhere.
Stock and cost of goods sold
Unlike a service business, your accounts need to reflect stock on hand, not just cash in and out. We track cost of goods sold, including landed costs such as freight and duty, so your margin figures are real.
Sole trader or limited company
There is no fixed income level at which becoming a limited company automatically makes sense. The right structure depends on your profits, personal income needs, other income, how much you plan to leave in the business and your longer-term plans. NDCA can compare the options using your actual figures.
How NDCA works
Three things set us apart when it comes to Amazon accounts.
As your accountant for Amazon FBA sellers UK, we work with Amazon sellers specifically, so we already understand settlement reports, FBA/FBM stock and multi-marketplace VAT. You pay one fixed monthly fee, your numbers stay current in Xero, and you get a named accountant, with most queries answered within one working day.
The software we use: Xero and A2X
Modern tools built for how Amazon actually pays sellers.
As an accountant for Amazon FBA sellers UK, we run your bookkeeping through Xero, connected to A2X, which breaks each Amazon settlement down into sales, refunds, fees and VAT rather than one unexplained lump sum. We also use Apron for bill payments. NDCA is ACCA-regulated.
