Do I need to register for VAT if I sell online from London?

You must register for UK VAT once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any 12-month rolling period. For D2C brands, fashion e-commerce, and fintech-enabled marketplaces in London, voluntary registration below the threshold can be beneficial — it lets you reclaim VAT on stock purchases, platform fees, and business expenses. The VAT specialists in our London network assess whether early registration makes financial sense for your situation.

How does VAT work on Amazon sales for London sellers?

Amazon collects and remits VAT on behalf of UK sellers for certain transactions under the marketplace facilitator rules. However, this does not cover all scenarios — B2B sales, own-website sales, and international transactions may still require you to account for VAT yourself. The specialists in our London network reconcile Amazon-collected VAT against your own obligations to ensure nothing is double-counted or missed.

How much does VAT advice cost for London e-commerce businesses?

VAT advisory fees from specialists in our London network typically range from £300 for a one-off compliance review to £600+ per month for ongoing multi-channel VAT management including international registrations. The cost reflects the complexity of your selling structure. Request your free match to compare quotes from up to three London VAT specialists.

Q: Do London online sellers need EU VAT OSS registration?

If you sell goods to EU consumers from the UK, you may need to register under the EU VAT One Stop Shop scheme once you exceed €10,000 in annual EU sales. For D2C brands, fashion e-commerce, and fintech-enabled marketplaces in London selling cross-border, our matched specialists assess your EU exposure and handle the registration and quarterly filings if required.
