Do I owe tax on my side sales?

Three separate answers: will the platform report you, do you actually owe anything, and what to do by when. Most people get the first and panic about the second.

What do you sell?

"My own things" = clothes, toys, furniture you bought for yourself and no longer want.

This is a guide, not tax advice. It uses England, Wales and Northern Ireland income tax bands for 2026/27 — Scottish rates differ. Platforms report on a calendar year; tax runs 6 April to 5 April, so treat the figures as a steer and keep your own records. Nothing you type leaves this page. HMRC's own online-income checker gives the official answer. See our guide to tax on Vinted, eBay and Marketplace sales.
