We want to give you peace of mind that there’s no new ‘side hustle’ tax. Like before, HMRC guidance says if you are just selling some unwanted items that have been lying around your home, such as the contents of a loft or garage, it is unlikely that you will have to pay tax. As you registered with us before January of this year, you shouldn’t be affected by sales reporting until 2025.
The only change is that HMRC is now asking online platforms, like eBay, to share information with them. This reporting doesn’t change your tax obligations, and only happens under these new rules when you pass one of their thresholds: Your sales are over £1,740 in a year (after fees); or You complete more than 30 sales in a year.
If you’re unsure about whether you need to pay tax for your sales, find out more here.
