Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions course creators, membership site owners and digital education businesses ask about specialist accounting.
How is VAT applied to online courses?
Pre-recorded digital courses are standard-rated at 20% as digital services. Live-tutored courses by individual tutors may qualify for exemption. The distinction between digital and educational supply determines treatment.
How is subscription revenue recognised?
Monthly subscriptions are recognised as income each month the service is provided. Annual payments upfront are deferred revenue, released monthly over the subscription period. Tracking churn helps forecast income.
How are platform fees accounted for?
Teachable, Thinkific, Udemy and similar platforms deduct fees before paying you. Record gross course revenue then deduct platform fees as a separate cost to show true margins per course.
Can course creation costs be claimed?
Video production, editing software, hosting, graphic design and scriptwriting are deductible business expenses. Significant production costs may be capitalised as intangible assets and amortised over the course’s expected revenue life.
How are cross-border course sales treated?
UK VAT applies to UK consumers. For EU consumers, the One Stop Shop scheme requires VAT at each country’s rate. Non-EU sales are generally outside UK VAT scope.
Can ABM support e-learning businesses nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves e-learning businesses across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to course creators, membership sites and digital education companies.
