Hi eBay Community, apologies if this has been discussed before but what are Tax implications re Selling on eBay please? I have recently been selling a lot of my old stuff which has been in my attic for 40+ years!!! It's almost impossible to give reliable advice for sales like yours. While a large proportion of your listings are for what look like old personal possessions, you've also got some brand new items that have only just been released so look like they were bought to sell. That's where there's possible tax implications if your turnover on those hits the £1,000 annual trading allowance. It tends to get messy when you're selling both personal and bought to sell items on the same account as they're treated differently for tax purposes. Thanks for the advice, rainbowtrax. I think I’m going to have to separate the old stuff from the new stuff. I enjoy that kind of task so it won’t be a problem. jonatjonatjonat As a private seller - the only scenario would be if you sold a single (or collection of) something for over £6,000 where Capital Gains Tax would apply. Looking at what you are selling - that looks unlikely.

Thanks very much for your advice, Jonatjonatjonat. roger_roger_over_and_nowt https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/account/regulatory/sales-reporting/uk-digital-sales-reporting?id=5454 Thanks, roger_roger_over_and_nowt. If you've been listing your own personal items then there are no tax implications for you. If you're unsure you can go to HMRCs website where you can check to see if there are. Edit to add: Some of your new records are only a year old, and there are numerous new caps so I would check this with HMRC, I've no idea how they view these kind of sales. Thanks for getting back to me, vyolla .
