About You + KudTax
Connect your About You seller account with KudTax to automatically reconcile platform fees, marketplace commissions, payouts and VAT rates across all EU countries into DATEV-ready entries.
About You runs a partner model: the merchant stays the seller while About You supplies reach and part of the fulfilment. For bookkeeping that is the decisive difference from plain resale — the goods stay in your own inventory until sold, and the statement is a credit note for a commission service rather than an invoice for goods.

What to watch for with About You
Commission is a service you receive
The commission withheld is not a discount on revenue but a service purchased from the marketplace, with input VAT of its own. Netted silently against turnover, that input VAT is lost — and over a year that is not a rounding error.
Marketing contributions are negotiated and belong checked individually
Contributions to discount campaigns show up as their own deductions on the statement. They belong booked as marketing spend rather than folded into commission, or there is no way afterwards to judge whether a campaign paid for itself.
