Ecommerce & Retail Accounting FAQs
How do I handle VAT on marketplace sales?
Marketplaces like Amazon may be the deemed supplier for VAT purposes on certain transactions. Your accountant needs to identify which sales you account for VAT on and which the marketplace handles, then reconcile accordingly.
How should I value my stock for accounts?
Stock should be valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes purchase price plus any costs to bring stock to its present location and condition. Slow-moving or obsolete stock should be written down.
What bookkeeping software works best for ecommerce?
Xero and QuickBooks both integrate well with ecommerce platforms. Specialist tools like A2X or Link My Books automate the reconciliation of marketplace settlements into your accounting software.
