FAQs: Amazon FBA & Irish Limited Companies
No — you don’t need to hop on a flight.
Almost all Irish filings can be handled digitally. Documents can be signed electronically, and if identity verification is required (such as for an IPN), it can usually be completed with an authorised notary in your own country.
Many of our Amazon clients operate entirely remotely. Ireland may be where your company is registered, but you don’t need to be physically present to stay compliant.
Because what hits your bank account isn’t your full story.
Amazon pays you after deducting fees — referral fees, FBA fees, storage, ads, adjustments and sometimes tax elements. The deposit you see is the “net” amount.
For proper accounting (and accurate tax reporting), we need to capture the “gross” sales first, then record the fees separately. Otherwise, your revenue and profit figures can be distorted.
It’s not about making things complicated — it’s about getting the numbers right.
Not automatically.
US Sales Tax is determined at state level, based on where your inventory is stored and where you create “nexus.” Even if your company is Irish, storing inventory in US Amazon warehouses can create state-level obligations.
We don’t guess with this. Where necessary, we work alongside US-based tax professionals to make sure everything is handled properly.
We don’t rely on guesswork or manual exchange calculations.
Instead, we connect multi-currency banking platforms (like Wise or Airwallex) directly into your bookkeeping system. This ensures the exchange rates used in your accounts reflect the actual rates at the time of the transaction.
That means no unexplained “mystery” gains or losses at year-end — just clean, accurate reporting.
Yes — and many founders do.
An Irish Limited Company can act as a strong base for selling across the UK and the EU. However, depending on your turnover and where Amazon stores your inventory, you may need additional VAT registrations or OSS (One-Stop Shop) registration.
We review your structure first, then guide you on what’s required — no unnecessary registrations, no shortcuts.
