FOR WHOM IS THIS E-BOOK?
Anyone selling physical goods online in the UK, whether on your own store or a marketplace, from the first sale through to a business turning over six figures.
Sellers who have just started
Chapters one to three answer the questions that arrive first: whether you are trading, what to register for, and by when. The £1,000 allowance is measured on income, not profit, which catches more people than any other rule.
Sellers holding stock
Buying inventory is not a cost, it is swapping cash for an asset, and getting that wrong makes a profitable business look like a failing one. Two chapters cover stock, valuation and the timing trap.
Sellers approaching £90,000
The VAT threshold is any rolling twelve months, not your accounting year. Two chapters cover crossing it, what it does to your pricing, and why absorbing it costs less than most sellers assume.
FACTS
What your income actually is
Your payout is not your turnover. The gap is fees, refunds, reserves and timing, and recording only the deposit can hide a VAT registration you have already triggered.

FACTS
Which structure, on current rates
Full comparisons at three profit levels. The old advice to incorporate above thirty thousand no longer holds, and the handbook shows exactly where it broke and what replaced it.
