A WooCommerce store is your own shop, not a marketplace — so you are the seller of record and you handle the VAT yourself. We reconcile Stripe, PayPal and WooPayments, sort the VAT and prepare your returns.
WooCommerce stores can involve multiple payment gateways, plugin reports, refunds, stock, VAT questions and delivery costs. We help organise the numbers properly.
Sales, refunds, fees, payment deposits and expenses recorded clearly.
Support with VAT returns, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and annual accounts.
Help with Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and ecommerce integrations.
Support with sales reports, refunds, discounts, order data and revenue tracking.
Help reconciling Stripe, PayPal, card payments and bank deposits.
VAT registration checks, VAT return preparation and Making Tax Digital support.
Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and annual accounts support.
At Gondal Accountancy, we help ecommerce businesses keep their finances organised and tax-ready. WooCommerce gives you control over your online store, but it can also create accounting challenges when sales, refunds, payment gateways, stock and VAT records are not managed properly.
The difference from selling on Amazon or eBay is worth understanding. Those are marketplaces, and in many cases they account for VAT on your behalf. Your own WooCommerce store is not a marketplace — you are the seller of record, so charging, collecting and remitting VAT is entirely down to you, and your tax settings need to be configured correctly from the start.
Our WooCommerce accountants can help with bookkeeping, payment reconciliation, VAT, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and reporting, so you can focus on running and growing your online business. We are based on Stratford Road in Hall Green, Birmingham, and work with store owners across the West Midlands and the rest of the UK.
A WooCommerce store needs accurate bookkeeping, clean payment records and useful financial reporting.
Unlike Amazon or eBay, no marketplace accounts for VAT on your behalf. Charging, collecting and remitting it correctly is entirely your responsibility.
WooCommerce sellers often use Stripe, PayPal, WooPayments, card processors and bank transfers, with no single settlement report tying them together.
WooCommerce data can depend on plugins, tax settings, shipping settings and order reports, which need careful review.
Tracking stock, supplier invoices, postage, packaging and product costs helps you understand true profitability.

The three things WooCommerce sellers ask us before anything else.
If a cost is genuinely for the business, it usually reduces the profit you pay tax on. For WooCommerce sellers that typically includes:
Claim what you are entitled to and nothing you are not — we check both directions. More in our tax planning service.
It turns on profit, not turnover. Many WooCommerce sellers start as sole traders because the admin is lighter, then incorporate once the tax saving outweighs the extra filing. A company also separates your own money from the business, which matters when you are holding stock or buying on supplier credit.
Incorporating too early costs more than it saves, so we run your real numbers first. See limited company accounts and Self Assessment.
Easier than most people expect. You tell your current accountant you are leaving and we handle the rest — we write for your records, collect your accounts, tax returns and payroll history, and pick up where they left off.
You do not need to wait for your year end, and you do not need an awkward conversation. Most moves are done inside a fortnight. Talk to us first if you are unsure.
Rated 5.0 by business owners across Birmingham and the UK.
Every marketplace reports money differently. We know how each one pays out, what it deducts before you see it, and who owes the VAT.
Whichever platforms you sell on, these are the pieces that keep you compliant and show you what you are actually making.
Common questions about WooCommerce accounting, bookkeeping, VAT and tax returns.
A WooCommerce accountant understands your WordPress store orders, payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, WooPayments), fees, refunds, stock and VAT, and turns that into clear accounts, VAT returns and tax filings.
There is no legal requirement, but because you run your own store you are the seller of record and handle VAT yourself. An accountant keeps that correct, reconciles your gateways and files accurate returns.
Yes. Our office is on Stratford Road in Hall Green, Birmingham, and we support WooCommerce and WordPress store owners across the West Midlands. Because store reports and records are shared digitally anyway, we work with sellers anywhere in the UK on the same terms and the same fee.
Usually yes. WooCommerce is your own store, not a marketplace, so you are the seller of record and you collect and remit VAT yourself through your VAT return. The platform does not do it for you. We configure your tax settings and records correctly.
A UK business must register for VAT once taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period, or sooner if you expect to. Many sellers also register voluntarily to reclaim VAT on stock and fees. We run a VAT check before you register and handle your returns.
Likely yes, and the responsibility is yours. As the seller of record you handle EU VAT through OSS for goods shipped within the EU and IOSS for low-value imports. We review your cross-border position and advise.
Yes. We reconcile each gateway payout against your bank, separating gross sales, processor fees, refunds and chargebacks so your figures and VAT are right.
All VAT-registered businesses must keep digital VAT records and file under Making Tax Digital for VAT. Sole-trader sellers also fall under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax by qualifying income — it already applies above £50,000, extending to over £30,000 from April 2027 and over £20,000 from April 2028. We help you get software and records ready.
Yes. You must declare trading profits whether or not any platform reports them. You only avoid Self Assessment if your gross trading income stays under the £1,000 trading allowance.
Yes — Self Assessment for sole traders and directors, plus accounts and Corporation Tax for limited companies. The fee depends on your turnover, VAT status, how many payment gateways you use and whether you sell cross-border. A sole trader with one gateway is a very different job from a VAT-registered company selling into the EU, so we look at your store and agree a fixed fee before any work starts. It does not change afterwards, and the first conversation is free.
