Specifically for e-commerce businesses
What we pay extra attention to for e-commerce businesses.
Integrations with your channels
WooCommerce, Shopify, Bol.com, Amazon, Mollie and Stripe: we connect your sales and payment channels, so revenue, costs and payouts reconcile automatically.
Stock and cost of sales
Your gross margin depends on an accurate cost of sales. We keep your stock valuation up to date and show you your margin for each period.
OSS and international sales
If your EU sales exceed the threshold, you file an OSS return. We make sure your online shop charges the right rates per country and that your return reconciles.
Costs we often see for e-commerce businesses.
Business expenses reduce your profit and therefore your tax. We make sure they are booked correctly and, where possible, that you make use of the investment deduction (investeringsaftrek).
- Purchasing and stock
- Platform and marketplace fees
- Advertising costs
- Fulfilment and shipping
