Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be VAT registered to sell on Amazon or Shopify?
VAT registration is required once your UK taxable turnover exceeds £90,000. However, selling into EU countries may trigger VAT registration obligations in those countries regardless of UK turnover.
What is EIS and SEIS?
The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) offer significant tax reliefs to investors in qualifying early-stage companies. Structuring your company to qualify can make you significantly more attractive to investors.
How do I account for stock from international suppliers?
Stock accounting involves import duties, currency conversion, and correct COGS calculation. We set up cloud accounting systems that handle multi-currency transactions correctly.
What accounting software works best for e-commerce?
Xero integrates well with most e-commerce platforms including Shopify. We advise on the right setup for your specific platform and transaction volume.
