Does Vinted report your sales to HMRC?

Updated 6 November 2026.

Short answer: yes, once you make 30 or more sales, or earn about £1,700 (€2,000), in a calendar year. Being reported does not mean you owe tax.

Why Vinted reports sellers

Since 1 January 2024, UK rules require online marketplaces such as Vinted, eBay, Depop and Etsy to collect details about their sellers and send them to HMRC each year. The first reports went in by 31 January 2025, covering sales in 2024. Every platform follows the same rules.

Who gets reported

A seller is left out only if they made fewer than 30 sales and less than about £1,700 in the calendar year (1 January to 31 December). Reach either one and you are included.

What Vinted sends

• your name, address and date of birth
• your National Insurance number or tax reference, if you gave one
• the bank account you are paid into
• how much you sold, how many sales, and the fees taken, by quarter

This is why Vinted may ask you to confirm these details. You also get a copy of what is sent.

Reported does not mean taxed

The report is information, not a bill. If you are selling your own unwanted things, there is usually no tax to pay at all. If you are trading, only sales over the £1,000 trading allowance need reporting by you. HMRC compares what Vinted sends with what you tell them, so the risk is only if you should have told them and did not. See whether your sales are taxable.

Two different years

Vinted reports by calendar year (January to December). Your tax is worked out by tax year (6 April to 5 April). Keep your own list of sales with dates so the numbers add up. Sidetally does this for you.
