Will Vinted, Depop or eBay report my sales to HMRC?

The rule

How platform reporting works

Since 1 January 2024, UK platforms have had to report sellers to HMRC who reach a limit. Below both limits, your details are not reported.
  • 30 sales

    Or about as much in money

    A platform reports a seller who reaches 30 sales, or about £1,700 (€2,000) from those sales, in a calendar year. Reaching either one is enough.

  • Per platform

    Counted on its own

    Each platform counts only the sales made on it. Vinted, Depop and eBay are not added together, so you can be over on one and well under on another.

  • 1 Jan to 31 Dec

    The calendar year

    Reporting uses the calendar year, not the tax year, which runs from 6 April to 5 April. Platforms send their reports to HMRC by 31 January the following year.

FAQ

Common questions

  • Since 1 January 2024, UK digital platforms have had to collect seller details and report them to HMRC once a seller reaches 30 sales or about £1,700 (€2,000) in a calendar year. Platforms send the report by 31 January the following year.

    Below both limits, your details are not reported.

  • Yes. Each platform counts the sales made on that platform. Your Vinted, Depop and eBay sales are not added together for this rule, so you can be over a limit on one platform and well under it on another.

  • No. GOV.UK says a platform reporting your details does not automatically mean you owe tax. The report is meant to help you keep track of what you earned.

    You are unlikely to pay tax on personal items you sell, such as clothes you no longer wear. If you buy or make things to sell at a profit, you are probably trading, and if your trading income is more than the £1,000 trading allowance in a tax year you need to tell HMRC.

  • Platform reporting uses the calendar year, 1 January to 31 December. The tax year is different: it runs from 6 April to 5 April, and the trading allowance is counted over the tax year.

  • Keep a clear record of every sale: the date, the platform, what it sold for, what you paid for the item, and any fees and postage. Platforms must give you a copy of what they report, and your own records let you check it matches.

    This tool is for record keeping, not tax advice. For your own situation, check GOV.UK or speak to an accountant.

Next: what did you actually make?

Reporting is about how much you sold. Profit is what you kept after fees, postage and what you paid for the item.
