Great people speaking plain English that small business people like me can understand.
I am very thankful for the support by the team of Your E-commerce Accountant. Grace Morphew is very professional and kind who helps with every question you may have. Thank you
Been using Ben and his team from Your Ecommerce Accountant for the last 3 months — top class service and communication. They have been a great relief for me and my brother running a start up in the UK — highly recommend them. No hidden costs, great service and get the job done when asked.
I've been using Your Ecommerce Accountants for the past two years and couldn't be happier with their service. Ben has always been very helpful, approachable whenever I've needed support. It's good to have someone reliable who understands the needs of an e-commerce business.
I've been working with Ben and the rest of the team for the best part of 10 months, so happy to have engaged him in regards to my HMRC affairs. We are getting through it slowly but surely. Overall a wholesome experience. Thank you Your Ecommerce Accountant.
Ben was really nice and knowledgeable and was able to answer any queries we had. The process couldn't have been easier with our accounts and corporation tax. Quality service all round providing tax saving tips and advice. Will definitely be using their services again for next year's accounts.
Honestly, I couldn't have made it through the last few years without this company! I have no idea about returns, accounts or anything like this and I knew I could just email and I would get a quick response with help from a number of staff. Stefi, Anshe, Georgia and Giedre to name a few! You are truly amazing.
Helps us take the load of doing VAT returns and annual financial statements. Your Ecommerce Accountant is also great at communication.
I can't say enough good things about the service at YEA. Everyone I've interacted with has been professional and highly committed. My primary contact is Grace, and she is an absolute gem. Grace is the perfect example of someone who goes above and beyond for her clients. She has a truly proactive approach, consistently finding ways to help my business grow without me even having to ask. For a business in its initial stages, this kind of support is invaluable. She's not only punctual and knowledgeable but also takes the extra mile to find solutions for every problem. Her dedication and willingness to help are truly exceptional, and she's a major reason why I'm so happy with the service I receive.
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 recognised 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. His professionalism, transparency, and genuine concern for my business's success were evident throughout our interaction.
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 a genuine motive to help. It was very refreshing, and it was 9am Monday morning! My biggest concern was about IOSS and he dealt with that very quickly. The other major gremlin was submitting quarterlies when setting up a LTD company, and 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!
Ben and the team are really helpful. The thought of doing our own accounts is headache-inducing. Accounts is a part of our business we don't have to worry about and we trust the team to take care of things. They really understand ecommerce accounting and the nuances it involves — do not go to a traditional accountant if you sell online.
Business went from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands within a year. Having the correct accountant in place allows me to focus on this growth, as there is no way I would feel comfortable making this level of sales. It feels a bit like being on a NASA rocket — and luckily Your Ecommerce Accountant has the system which can keep up and give me confidence to truly reach for the stars.
Ben and his team were excellent. Pragmatic and helpful for us as a small company. Good communication and responsiveness. Deep understanding of different e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Amazon, Etsy etc), integrations and sorting the right tax treatment for all that.
As a rapidly growing UK seller, I have been wanting to expand further to the US market and Ben has provided me with very good knowledge on this. This gives me a smooth transition to the US markets doing online arbitrage, hitting the biggest Amazon market in the world.
Had some inquiries about the process of self assessment and going into MTD. Samuel was very straight forward and clear, he took the time to understand my plans and gave me peace of mind. I'd recommend anyone to at least book the free consultation call. When you book you can leave some info about the situation or questions you would like to know, and when the call comes the 20 minutes you get is packed full of great knowledge, advice, peace of mind and value.
Had a great intro phone call with Samuel. He was super helpful, very informative but to the point — gave me the exact advice I was looking for about a few UK/US questions. I plan to work with these guys in the future. Definitely recommended.
Had a call with Colin Smith. I must say he was ready to answer all my questions and give me clarity on all grey areas. I will definitely recommend working with the e-commerce accountant.
After discovering Your Accountant on YouTube and finding their video series genuinely insightful, I decided to take up their complimentary call and I'm glad I did. Speaking with Sam was effortless, and his practical guidance was impressive for what was essentially a free consultation. I came away feeling confident and clear about my next steps. Should the need arise, I wouldn't hesitate to engage their full services; it's clear they have a wealth of accounting expertise to offer any business.
Your support recently has been nothing short of incredible. I especially appreciate Ben coming up with new ways of working and trying to make my role easier. Ben has clearly and accurately clarified my hours and hours of research and pointed me in the right direction.
Really pleased with the services offered by these guys. Completely free helpful advice with no pressure to sign up to services, thank you very much.
Clear, concise information all relevant to what I needed. No pressure to sign up or transact anything. Very helpful, thank you Sam!
Had a free consultation with Ben today. It was super helpful and he answered all of my questions. Thank you Ben!
Amazing company, extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.
Being the owner of multiple properties, I discovered I wasn't utilising my properties effectively so as to gain the most out of them financially. Thanks to that video it has changed my life and my family's tremendously. My eternal gratitude to you, keep up the good work.
I watched your video explaining side hustles and CIC status in light of the HMRC changes. It was very informative — definitely better to be prepared than sorry. Quality information!

I wish I had found your ecommerce accountant sooner! I hate accounts, they scare me to death. I felt an absolute wave of relief the first time I spoke to Ben, he’s a nice guy but also extremely knowledgeable and patient. I’ve been with them for almost a year and they have been nothing but excellent
Ben is a true expert at e-commerce and more importantly, he is genuinely trying to help you achieve your objectives.
You've seen the services. This is the part that actually changes your numbers.
Etsy pays you net of transaction fees, processing fees, Etsy Ads and Offsite Ads, so your deposits tell you very little about margin. We split those out from your materials and postage so you can see what each listing actually earns, and whether your prices cover it.
Crossing the VAT threshold is the biggest cost shift an Etsy shop goes through, and the scheme you pick can be worth thousands a year. We compare Flat Rate, the Margin Scheme for vintage and second-hand stock, and standard VAT, then tell you when to join one and, just as important, when to come off it.
We track margin per listing, return on ad spend and fees as a share of sales, and benchmark you against the other Etsy sellers on our books. You'll know whether a 25% margin is good or poor for a shop like yours, instead of guessing.
On Etsy, the marketplace collects US sales tax and EU VAT on most orders for you. Open your own Shopify store and that cover goes. We tell you when a second channel is worth it, handle the US or EU registrations it triggers, and take over the filings so you keep selling.
EcomLedger connects to your Etsy shop and matches every deposit to the orders, fees and refunds behind it, so you never send us a CSV. It's ours, so when Etsy changes its fees or reports, we fix it rather than wait for a plugin vendor.
We only work with online sellers, so the question you're about to ask, we've answered before. Book the free call and we'll tell you where you stand — whether or not you end up a client.
Most accountants take ages to reply to queries, we have an SLA of two working days to get back to you.
We are experts in ecommerce with experience of over 500 clients
We have developed our own software, eComLedger so you do not have to constantly send us reports. We combine this with Dext to ensure it is as easy as possible for you to share invoices with us.
We have a client area which is dedicated to teaching you the skills to unlock your potential, understand your numbers, make better decisions and make more profit.
Some accountants leave identifying tax savings to chance. We track it against every client so you can keep as much as your profit as possible.
Answers to the questions UK Etsy sellers ask us most. Answered by Ben Sztejka ACA, ICAEW chartered accountant.
An Etsy accountant turns your Etsy payouts into accounts HMRC will accept and numbers you can run the shop on. Etsy pays you net of transaction fees, processing fees, Etsy Ads, Offsite Ads and refunds, so the deposit in your bank is not your sales figure. We rebuild the gross sales and every fee behind each payout, prepare your Self Assessment or company accounts, keep you on the right VAT scheme, and show you which listings actually make money.
Our fixed monthly fees for Etsy sellers start at £50 + VAT for sole traders and £120 + VAT for limited companies, covering bookkeeping, year-end accounts and your tax return. VAT returns and payroll are added at a fixed price if you need them. The fee is agreed before you start and does not change with the number of calls or emails. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Yes. Under the digital platform reporting rules in force since 1 January 2024, Etsy must report your sales to HMRC if you make 30 or more sales, or receive more than €2,000 (about £1,700), in a calendar year. Reports reach HMRC by 31 January for the previous calendar year, and Etsy sends you a copy. The rules do not create any new tax, but HMRC now sees your Etsy turnover whether or not you declare it.
Yes, if your gross trading income is over £1,000 in a tax year. The £1,000 trading allowance applies to total sales, not profit, so a shop selling £1,200 with £900 of costs still has to register. Register for Self Assessment by 5 October after the end of the tax year you started trading, then file and pay by 31 January. Selling your own unwanted belongings is not trading; making or buying items to sell is.
When your VAT-taxable turnover goes over £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period, or you expect it to go over £90,000 in the next 30 days alone. It is a rolling test, not a tax-year test, so check it monthly. Use your gross sales, including postage you charge buyers, not the net Etsy payouts that land in your bank. You must register within 30 days of the end of the month you went over.
If you are not VAT registered, Etsy adds 20% UK VAT to its seller fees, and that VAT is a cost you cannot reclaim. Once you are VAT registered, add your VAT number to your Etsy account. Etsy bills UK sellers from Etsy Ireland UC, so it then stops charging VAT and your fees fall under the reverse charge: you account for 20% on the fees and reclaim the same amount on the same return, so the net cost is nil. If you register but do not add the number, Etsy keeps charging VAT that you generally cannot reclaim.
It depends on what you sell. The Flat Rate Scheme can save money, but if you spend less than 2% of your VAT-inclusive turnover, or less than £1,000 a year, on goods, you are a limited cost trader and pay 16.5%, which usually costs more than standard VAT. Digital download sellers are almost always caught. The Margin Scheme suits vintage and second-hand sellers, because you pay VAT only on your margin, not the full selling price. Most other Etsy shops are best on standard VAT. Review it every year, because the right scheme changes as your costs do.
Usually not on Etsy orders. Etsy collects VAT at checkout on orders of €150 or less shipped to EU buyers, and collects US sales tax on orders to US buyers, as the marketplace responsible for the tax. That cover only applies to Etsy orders. Once you sell through your own Shopify store or website, EU VAT (usually through IOSS) and US sales tax become your responsibility, and that is when registrations need planning.
Yes, if you are a sole trader and your qualifying income is high enough. Since 6 April 2026, sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 must keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates. The threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. Qualifying income is gross self-employment and property income combined, before expenses, so an Etsy shop turning over £35,000 is in scope from April 2027 even if its profit is far lower. Limited companies are not affected.
It is a tax and risk decision, not a branding one. A company pays Corporation Tax at 19% on profits up to £50,000 and you draw money through salary and dividends; a sole trader pays Income Tax and National Insurance on all profit, whether drawn or not. For most Etsy sellers the switch starts to pay once profit is consistently above about £30,000 a year, or once you are leaving profit in the business to fund stock. Below that, the extra accounts and filing usually cost more than they save. We model both before you incorporate.
Xero or QuickBooks, connected properly. Neither connects to Etsy on its own, and entering payouts as single lines loses the sales, fees and VAT detail HMRC expects. Our clients use our own software, EcomLedger, which pulls Etsy orders, fees and refunds into Xero or QuickBooks and matches each payout, so you never send us reports. Receipts and supplier bills go through Dext.
Anything spent wholly for the shop: materials and stock, packaging, postage, Etsy fees and ads, equipment, photography, software and the business share of your phone and broadband. If you work from home you can claim a proportion of household costs, or use HMRC’s flat rates: £10 a month for 25 to 50 hours of business use, £18 for 51 to 100 hours and £26 for 101 hours or more. Business mileage is 45p a mile for the first 10,000 miles. You cannot claim your own time or personal items, and if you use the £1,000 trading allowance you cannot also claim expenses.
Yes, at any point. We contact your current accountant for professional clearance and your records, connect EcomLedger to your Etsy shop, and pick up from the last thing they filed. You do not need to wait for your year end.
