Settlements, not deposits
Stock in Amazon's warehouses is still your stock
VAT for FBA sellers
An Amazon FBA accountant reconciles each settlement into sales, referral fees, FBA fulfilment, storage, advertising and refunds, values stock sitting in Amazon warehouses at year end, and files your VAT, accounts and CT600 on that basis.
Amazon pays you every fortnight, net of a dozen deduction types. Treating the deposit as sales hides referral fees that often run 15%, fulfilment fees that vary by size band, storage that spikes in Q4, and advertising that can quietly exceed your margin. We use A2X or Link My Books to post the full settlement breakdown to the correct nominal codes.
Inventory held at FBA fulfilment centres belongs on your balance sheet at the lower of cost and net realisable value, including inbound freight and duty. Getting this wrong moves profit between years and changes your corporation tax bill. We take the year end inventory report, price it at landed cost and reconcile it to purchases.
Holding stock in a country generally creates a VAT registration obligation there, so Pan-European FBA is a multi registration decision, not a settings toggle. UK sellers also need to handle import VAT, postponed VAT accounting and Amazon's deemed supplier role on certain sales. We map it before you switch programmes on.
Rates, thresholds and deadlines quoted here reflect the current UK position and current HMRC and Companies House guidance. Check GOV.UK, or ask us, before relying on them for your own business.

“I've been working with Accotax since January 2024, and their support has grown alongside my business needs. My personal allocated manager, Umer, provides tailored services for both of my companies, adapting as I expand and ensuring everything runs smoothly. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always clear in their communication. Their help with accounts, VAT, payrolls, pensions and compliance gives me real confidence and peace of mind.”
“We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.”
“Accotax have been our accountants for many years now. We maintained them because of their professionalism. In the last couple of years I have been working with Imran, who has been very professional and helpful in guiding us through the whole process, explaining and clarifying every aspect of it. Very prompt in responding to questions and patient with us even when we seem to be slow.”
Frequently asked
We scope the obligations and coordinate registrations through established partners in each country, then keep the UK filings in house.
At landed cost, from the year end inventory report, reconciled back to purchase invoices and freight.
Yes. We rebuild the settlement detail from Amazon reports and restate the comparatives.
Start with gross orders and reconcile through refunds, marketplace taxes, selling fees, advertising, fulfilment charges, reserves and currency differences to the net bank deposit. The settlement report, not the bank receipt alone, is the accounting source.
Selling, payment, fulfilment and advertising fees should be separated so contribution margin is visible by channel. This helps distinguish high revenue from profitable revenue and supports better pricing, stock and advertising decisions.
Keep bank statements, sales and platform reports, purchase invoices, payroll records, VAT workings, finance agreements and Companies House correspondence. We confirm the exact list at onboarding and identify gaps before a filing deadline becomes urgent.
The fee depends on transaction volume, record quality, VAT and payroll requirements, historic catch-up and the level of reporting needed. We agree a fixed scope and price before technical work starts, with published packages available on our fees page.
Yes. We request professional clearance, collect the prior records and authorities, check the next Companies House and HMRC deadlines, and give you one clear handover list. The process is normally completed remotely.
Yes. We work through secure cloud records, scheduled reviews and digital approvals, while keeping a named team available by phone, video call and email. Clients can also visit our Morden office by appointment.
We regularly work with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage and connected sales or expense apps. The right setup depends on transaction volume, integrations and the reports you need, not simply the software brand.
