The Vinted 30 sales rule, explained

The short version. It's a reporting rule, not a tax. Vinted reports you to HMRC for a calendar year if you make 30 or more sales or receive more than €2,000 (about £1,700). Whether you owe tax depends on what you were selling.

What the rule says

Since 2024, platforms like Vinted must report a seller to HMRC unless they made fewer than 30 sales and received €2,000 or less in the year. So you're reported if you go over either limit:

Your year	Reported?
12 sales, £400	No
30 sales, £300	Yes (30 sales)
8 sales, £1,900	Yes (over about £1,700)

How the count works

It's a calendar year, January to December, not the April to April tax year.
Every sale counts, including your own old clothes.
The money limit is set in euros, so the pound figure moves a little with the exchange rate. About £1,700 is a fair guide.
Reports go to HMRC by 31 January the next year, and you get a copy.

It isn't a new tax

The tax rules didn't change. Selling your own things is still usually tax-free, and reselling was always taxable over the £1,000 trading allowance. What changed is that HMRC can now see the figures. See Do I pay tax on Vinted? for which applies to you.

Keep an eye on your count

Vinted doesn't show a running total of sales towards the limit. ResellSorted does: it counts your sales and takings for the current calendar year so you can see the limit coming.
