I recently had the opportunity to engage in an initial consultation with Colin regarding VAT considerations for my Shopify store, especially concerning sales in other countries. Colin showed a great understanding of my situation, acknowledging my status as an accountant with limited VAT expertise diving into a new business venture.

What I appreciated most about Colin's approach was his genuine concern for my best interests. Rather than pushing for immediate engagement, he recognized that, at this early stage, I am capable of managing certain aspects independently. His recommendation to postpone our collaboration until my shop is fully operational demonstrated both his integrity and commitment to providing value.

He came across as approachable and knowledgeable.

I appreciated Colin's transparency regarding fees and service offerings. He outlined the benefits of each option, ensuring I had a clear understanding of what would best serve my long-term interests.

In sum, my experience with Colin was great. His professionalism, transparency, and genuine concern for my business's success were evident throughout our interaction. Thank you, Colin, for a truly pleasant experience.

I had a chat with Ben this morning and he provided enormous clarity allowing me to clearly see what my best course of action is going forward into the first year of setting up a Dropship Ecommerce Business. He didn't try and sell me any services or products from his end whatsoever - just was a genuine motive to help - it was very refreshing and it was 9am Monday morning!

My biggest concerns was about IOSS and he dealt with that very quickly. The other major gremlin was submitting quarterlies when setting up a LTD company etc and I found the bottom line was that until turnover reaches 85K there is very little need to worry about all that.

I had read a huge amount and spent months researching my options and Ben cut through everything in about 10 minutes!

I highly recommend anyone who is feeling blinded by the accountancy aspects of Dropshipping get in touch with Ben because as I say... the fog has lifted!

As ICAEW chartered eCommerce accountants, we know your issues as an eBay seller. We connect you to the best accountancy software and tools to streamline business efficiency.
But what sets our accountants apart is their understanding of the eCommerce environment and the specialised advice they deliver. Because we know the challenges eBay sellers face, we can give our clients the confidence to sell via eBay, knowing they’re fully compliant.

We’ll set up your accountancy software to deliver real-time information so you can manage your cash flow and finances more effectively

When you start selling on eBay, you won’t have to register for VAT if your annual turnover remains below £85,000. Once you cross that threshold, you must register with HMRC and charge VAT on your eBay sales.

Recent changes to the e-commerce VAT rules have made selling through platforms like eBay a more complex tax environment. However, we can help you navigate the new rules in a way that a traditional accountant can’t match.

To avoid any issues (such as registering for IOSS when selling into the EU) when selling internationally, we can help you register for VAT and meet your tax liabilities.

The short answer is yes, you must pay VAT on selling fees even if you are not VAT registered.
