TaxSimba — Vinted and eBay: Does Selling Your Own Clothes Mean You Owe Tax?
Preparation worksheet

Optional offline planning aid, not a tax return or filing confirmation.
Keep completed notes securely; never include passwords or one-time codes.

WORK THROUGH THIS EXAMPLE
Separate unwanted clothes bought for your own use from items bought to resell. Keep purchase history and a short description of the activity. A platform telling HMRC about sales does not itself classify them as a trade or decide any capital-gains position.

DECISION TO RESOLVE
