Online retail comes with tax and accounting specifics that traditional firms often neglect. We specialize in the tax support of online retailers and the e-commerce sector – from the correct VAT assessment of your sales chains through the OSS procedure to fully automated accounting. Whether you sell on marketplaces or through your own shop: we set up your accounting correctly from the very start.

Online retailers face a wide range of tax and accounting specifics that differ significantly from classic brick-and-mortar retail. We know these requirements from practice and support clients across all relevant sales channels. Our clients include online retailers on the following marketplaces and shop systems: Amazon, eBay, Zalando, Conrad, Temu, TikTok Shop, Etsy, Shopify, Shopware and WooCommerce. We understand your business model without you having to explain the basics of online retail to us.
At the start of our cooperation, we assess your sales chains and set up your accounting correctly from the ground up. Because every type of delivery has its own VAT consequences that must be reflected correctly. In particular, we take into account:
  • Sales within Germany
  • Intra-Community supplies
  • Exports to third countries
  • Intra-Community transfers
  • Distance sales to private individuals
  • Chain transactions
A clean setup at the start saves you later corrections and ensures a reliable data basis.
Special rules apply to cross-border sales to private individuals within the EU, which we review and implement for you. Specifically, we take care of:
  • Review of the distance selling rules under § 3c UStG in conjunction with § 18j UStG
  • Timely registration for the OSS procedure (One-Stop-Shop)
  • Preparation of the quarterly OSS returns
This ensures that you meet your VAT obligations in the EU countries of destination correctly and on time – centrally via a single return.

Through our cooperation with the software provider AccountOne, we can fully automate your accounting. The interface takes the data from your sales channels and transfers it in a structured way into your accounting.

The advantage for you: less manual effort, a lower error rate and consistently up-to-date accounting – even with a high transaction volume across multiple marketplaces and shop systems.
