Capital Gains on Personal Items? Almost Never
Selling your own used clothes is a disposal of personal chattels — exempt under £6,000 per item. We confirm where you sit and document it, so a platform-reporting letter doesn't turn into an enquiry.
Who we helpAudience
Vinted Sellers accounting, handled.
Selling your own old clothes? Not taxable. Buying to resell? Probably is — and Vinted now reports you to HMRC.
Vinted falls under the same digital-platform reporting rules as eBay and Depop — from January 2024, sellers above £1,700 or 30 transactions a year get reported to HMRC. The difference for Vinted is that most users genuinely are selling their own wardrobe (not taxable) — but a growing minority are sourcing to resell (very much taxable). We help you draw that line cleanly, and stay on the right side of it.

Our impact
How we help vinted sellers succeed.
01 02 Badge-of-Trade Test, Applied Honestly
If you're sourcing from charity shops, car boots, or wholesale to resell on Vinted, you're trading. We apply the nine badges of trade and tell you straight — and then structure the books properly.
03 £1,000 Trading Allowance, Used Right
Most casual resellers stay inside the £1,000 trading allowance and owe nothing. We confirm the position, document the income, and only file a return when one is actually needed.
04 Catch-Up Disclosure if You're Already Over
If you've been over the threshold for a year or two, a voluntary Digital Disclosure now costs a fraction of what HMRC will charge once they open it themselves.
Tailored services
Everything you need for vinted sellers.
01 Hobby vs Trade Assessment
A written, evidenced view on whether your Vinted activity is taxable trading or personal-chattel disposal — kept on file in case HMRC ever asks.
02 Trading Allowance Returns
Sole-trader Self-Assessment using the £1,000 allowance for low-volume sellers, with proper records so the position is defendable.
03 Vinted Payout Reconciliation
Vinted Wallet, Buyer Protection fees, and shipping reconciled cleanly when volume justifies proper bookkeeping.
04 Cost-of-Goods on Resold Stock
Tracking purchase price of charity-shop and wholesale stock so profit is calculated properly — not on gross sale price.
05 Voluntary Disclosure & Back-Returns
Digital Disclosure Service filings for sellers who've been over threshold and want to get straight before HMRC arrives.
06 Scaling Beyond Vinted
Advice on registering for VAT, going Ltd, or adding eBay/Depop/Shopify channels once the side-hustle starts paying real bills.
