Sole trader, buying from amazon business account... declare it?

Hi there, i am a small ebay seller where i make to sell, i do not make much bit over the amount where i pay tax to HMRC and a registered sole tradei have been getting emails from Amazon about having a free business account to buy things which are cheaper being a sole trader..so ove registered and waiting for it to go through.

I am still new to everything and no idea how most things work as i was doing this and still am for extra money and thats all it is....a little extra money. So im not super business minded

What i do and find best for me when filing my taxes is using the £1k trading allowance and dedicting it from my earnings from ebay etc and then oay tax on the rest as thats just easier for me to work out.

So with me doing this....if i buy items cheaper via amazon business account which i presume are just with the VAT or something removed do i need to do anything as far as HMRC when i buy anything 

Do i declare it to them or can i just buy cheaper items and thats it. Just making sure i don't mess up and end up owing tax people or something lol
