Accounting Built for Dropshipping Businesses
Dropshippers face accounting challenges that general accountants rarely handle. The £135 VAT threshold, overseas supplier invoicing, digital advertising as the primary cost, return liability and platform reporting rules all demand advisors who know how dropshipping businesses operate without stock.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with Shopify dropshippers, eBay sellers, Amazon operators, own-website stores and multi-platform dropshipping businesses across England, delivering structured financial support for dropshippers and individual owners. Every VAT return, supplier record and tax submission is handled accurately.
Helping Dropshippers Understand VAT and True Margins
Dropshipping business owners need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares VAT returns with correct £135 treatment, supplier cost reconciliation, ad spend analysis, margin reporting and tax planning, giving dropshippers clear visibility over true profitability after all costs.
Whether you operate a Shopify store, sell through eBay, use Amazon or run your own website with overseas suppliers, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your model, keeping the business and individual owners covered on VAT and tax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions dropshipping business owners, Shopify sellers and online store operators ask about specialist accounting.
How does the £135 VAT threshold work?
For goods under £135, VAT is charged at checkout. For goods over £135, import VAT and customs duty apply at the border. Getting this threshold wrong creates serious compliance risk.
Do I need VAT registration immediately?
If your supplier is outside the UK, the standard £90,000 threshold may not apply. You could need registration before your first sale. Professional advice avoids backdated assessments and penalties.
How are overseas supplier costs recorded?
Supplier invoices from AliExpress or overseas platforms are your cost of goods sold. Retain them with correct currency conversion for HMRC. Missing records weaken your position during any review.
How is ad spend tracked for tax?
Facebook, Google and TikTok advertising is recorded as a marketing expense. It often represents the largest cost for dropshippers. Tracking spend per platform against revenue reveals true return on investment.
Who bears the cost of returns?
The dropshipper bears return liability even though they never handled the product. Refunds reduce revenue and return shipping costs are a business expense. Provisioning for expected returns keeps accounts accurate.
Can ABM support dropshippers nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves dropshippers across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to sole traders, limited companies and multi-platform dropshipping operations.
