Overview
- HMRC-branded pop-ups are appearing in Vinted for some UK users once they reach 30 sales or €2,000 (£1,700) in a calendar year.
- The prompt asks for personal details including name, date of birth, billing address, country of residence and, optionally, a National Insurance number.
- Vinted says meeting the threshold triggers an automated contact to comply with reporting obligations under UK law.
- The company and government stress that completing a seller report does not automatically create a tax bill because most personal resales are not taxable.
- Guidance cited notes tax may apply to profits on items sold for over £6,000 and that a £1,000 trading allowance has existed since 2017, while some users report temporary withdrawal or selling limits until details are provided.
