What makes e-commerce VAT more complex than standard business VAT?

Standard business VAT involves one set of rates and one filing. E-commerce VAT involves UK domestic VAT, EU OSS quarterly returns, marketplace facilitator rules where the platform collects VAT on your behalf, digital services VAT by customer location, and import VAT on goods bought from overseas suppliers. Each requires different treatment and different records.

I've just crossed the £90,000 VAT threshold — what do I do?

You must register for VAT within 30 days of the end of the month in which you crossed the threshold, and start charging VAT from the first day of the following month. Late registration means you owe HMRC the VAT you should have charged, even if you didn't collect it from customers. Specialist e-commerce VAT accountants handle emergency registrations and calculate your historic liability accurately.

How does Making Tax Digital affect my e-commerce VAT returns?

Under Making Tax Digital for VAT, all VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and submit returns using compatible software. For e-commerce businesses with multiple platforms, this means your Shopify, Amazon, and eBay data must flow digitally into your VAT return. Specialist accountants set up the correct integrations so you're MTD-compliant without additional manual work.

Do I need to register for VAT in EU countries as well as the UK?

If your EU B2C sales exceed €10,000 in a calendar year, you must either register for VAT in each EU country where you have customers, or register for the VAT OSS scheme in one EU member state. OSS is almost always the better option. UK businesses typically register for OSS through an EU member state of their choice.
