Start a UK business

Stay compliant without thinking about it.

A UK company comes with deadlines: VAT returns, the annual confirmation statement, year-end accounts and corporation tax. We handle the filings with our partner accountant, track every due date and remind you before anything is late, so you can focus on selling.

What's included

What we take care of

  • VAT registration with HMRC and VAT number for your marketplaces
  • Annual confirmation statement filed at Companies House
  • Year-end accounts and CT600 corporation tax return
  • Deadline tracking and reminders
  • Plain-English answers to your tax and filing questions

VAT registration for ecommerce sellers

UK companies must register for VAT once taxable turnover passes the threshold, and businesses based outside the UK that store goods in the UK must register regardless of turnover. Marketplaces also ask for your VAT number and will restrict accounts that cannot provide one when required. We prepare and submit the application, handle HMRC's questions and add the VAT number to your marketplace accounts.

Confirmation statement and annual accounts

  • Confirmation statement: every UK company must confirm its details with Companies House at least once a year, with a filing fee. Miss it and the company can be struck off.
  • Annual accounts: due at Companies House within nine months of your financial year end.
  • Corporation Tax return (CT600): due to HMRC within twelve months of the year end, with the tax itself payable nine months and one day after.

Our partner accountant prepares the accounts and return; we track the dates and chase what is needed from you well in advance.

Why marketplace sellers use us for this

Most accountants do not understand marketplace reports: fees, promoted listing charges, refunds and deemed-supplier VAT all need treating correctly. We work from the actual settlement reports of eBay, Amazon, TikTok Shop and OnBuy, so the figures reconcile and HMRC questions have answers.

Fixed prices, no surprises

VAT registration is a one-off fixed price. The confirmation statement and the annual accounts with CT600 are yearly subscriptions, so the cost is known in advance and the deadline is never missed. Prices are shown below.

FAQ

Ask a question
Do I need a VAT number to sell on Amazon or eBay UK?
Not always, but marketplaces may require one depending on where your business is based, where your stock is held and your turnover. We check your position and register you when it is required or beneficial.
Who prepares the accounts?
A UK partner accountant prepares and files the accounts and CT600. We coordinate, track deadlines and provide the marketplace data.
What happens if I miss a Companies House or HMRC deadline?
Late filings attract automatic penalties and repeated failures can lead to the company being struck off. Our reminders start well before each deadline so this does not happen.
Can you file VAT returns too?
Yes, quarterly VAT returns can be added to the Accounting & Compliance plan after registration. Ask us for a price based on your sales volume.
I formed my company elsewhere. Can you still handle the filings?
Yes. We take over the filings for any UK company, whoever formed it.
