Amazon's dominance as an online marketplace has attracted sellers worldwide, including non-UK residents. To maximize profits and efficiently operate in the UK market, setting up a VAT-registered UK limited company and utilizing a nominee director service is highly recommended. This structure allows for seamless overseas management of your Amazon UK account and offers significant tax advantages.
Before starting on Amazon, carefully consider your business structure to optimize profitability, as making changes later can be complex. For high-volume sellers, a limited company can be more tax-efficient, with corporate tax rates of 19-25% compared to sole trader income tax rates of 20-45% (or 19-48% in Scotland). Additionally, limited liability provides crucial protection for your personal finances. Should your business encounter legal issues or financial difficulties, your personal assets will remain shielded, safeguarding your investment.
