UK VAT for online sellers is a maze of thresholds, schemes and post-Brexit import rules. Once your taxable turnover passes £90,000 you must register, file under Making Tax Digital, and choose between standard, Flat Rate and margin schemes — each with very different cash impacts. Next Tax Source registers you, picks the scheme that actually suits your margins, and files MTD-compliant returns reconciled to Shopify, Amazon or your EPOS, with a chartered accountant's review.

What We Handle

Questions People Ask

When do I need to register for UK VAT?
When your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling twelve months, or you expect to within thirty days. We monitor your turnover and register you in time to avoid late-registration penalties.
Is the Flat Rate Scheme worth it for my shop?
Sometimes — it simplifies filing and can save money for low-cost-base businesses, but it can cost you on high-input months. We model both against your actual figures before recommending one.
How does VAT work on my EU sales after Brexit?
Depending on volumes and where your stock sits, you may use IOSS/OSS or need EU registrations. We map your flows and set up the simplest compliant route.
Does Amazon handle my VAT?
Amazon collects VAT on certain marketplace sales, but you typically still need a UK registration and returns covering your own and direct sales. We reconcile what's collected against what you owe.
