FAQ for online sellers
_edited.png)
Do online sellers need to register for Self Assessment?
If you sell online as a sole trader, you usually need to register for Self Assessment and submit a tax return each year. If you operate through a limited company, the company must file annual accounts and a corporation tax return instead, and you may also need a personal Self Assessment if you receive income such as dividends or salary.
What taxes do online sellers need to pay?
This depends on how your business is set up. Sole traders pay income tax and National Insurance through Self Assessment. Limited companies pay corporation tax on profits, and directors may pay tax on salary and dividends. VAT may also apply if you are registered or required to register.
Should I trade as a sole trader or a limited company?
Many online sellers start as sole traders and later move to a limited company as profits grow. A limited company can be more tax-efficient in some cases, but it also comes with additional responsibilities such as company accounts and Companies House filings. We can help you understand the differences and decide what works best for you.
What expenses can online sellers claim?
Online sellers can usually claim expenses such as stock purchases, marketplace and payment processing fees, shipping and packaging costs, advertising, software subscriptions, and certain home-office costs. Claiming the right expenses is important whether you are a sole trader or operating through a limited company.
Do limited company online sellers need to file Self Assessment?
The limited company itself does not file a Self Assessment return, but company directors often need to submit a personal Self Assessment to report salary, dividends or other income. We can handle both company accounts and personal tax returns where required.
Do I need to register for VAT as an online seller?
You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold. Some online sellers choose to register voluntarily. VAT rules can be more complex for limited companies and for sellers using online marketplaces or selling overseas, so getting advice early is important.
Can you help with company accounts for online sellers?
Yes. We work with online sellers across all major platforms and understand how sales, fees, payouts and reports work. This applies to both sole traders and limited companies.
What if my bookkeeping or records are not organised?
That’s very common, especially for growing online businesses. We can help you organise your records and set up simple bookkeeping systems using Xero or FreeAgent, making ongoing tracking much easier.
Can you help if I’m planning to switch to a limited company?
Yes. If you are thinking about moving from sole trader to limited company, we can explain the process, the tax implications, and help you decide when it makes sense to incorporate.
