HMRC already sees your online sales
Since January 2024, digital platforms report sellers’ income to HMRC each year. Sellers with 30 or more sales, or around £1,700 or more in sales in a year, are reported. If you are trading, that income must be on your tax return. Casual sellers of personal items are not trading, but HMRC may still ask.
What we do for online sellers
Platforms into Xero
We set up integrations so orders, fees, refunds and payouts reconcile, rather than relying on payout totals.
VAT on online sales
Registration at £90,000, marketplace rules, and selling to EU customers.
Stock and cost of sales
Stock counts, landed costs and margins per product, so you know what actually makes money.
Side hustle to business
Trading allowance, when to register, and when to go limited.
Online seller FAQs
- Do I need to pay tax on what I sell online?
- If you are trading, yes, on your profit. The first £1,000 of trading income can be covered by the trading allowance. Selling your own unwanted items is not usually trading.
- Does Etsy or eBay report me to HMRC?
- Platforms report sellers who make 30 or more sales, or around £1,700 or more, in a calendar year.
- Do I charge VAT on Amazon sales?
- Only once you are VAT registered, but marketplace rules mean the platform sometimes accounts for VAT on certain sales. We check your set-up.
