Vinted says selling your personal items is generally not taxed. Under DAC7, Vinted reports sellers with 30 or more sales, or over €2,000 in sales, in a calendar year. A report is not the same as tax being due: Income Tax generally applies to trading profits. This is not tax advice.
Vinted postage hubPostage.ie is a postage guide, not a tax adviser. This page summarises what Vinted and Revenue published, checked on 10 November 2026. It cannot tell you whether you owe tax. For your own position, check Revenue's guidance or ask a tax adviser.
Revenue's own example shows the same seller can be reported in some years and excluded in others, depending on whether they went over 30 sales or €2,000 in that period.
Vinted's DAC7 help page opens with "Selling your personal items is not taxed." Revenue says Income Tax generally applies to the profits a person earns from selling goods in the course of a trade, and that individuals selling personal items which are no longer required are unlikely to be carrying on a trade.
DAC7 is an EU rule that requires platforms like Vinted to give sellers' information to tax authorities. Vinted says it will contact you automatically, by the end of the year, if you meet at least one of its reporting criteria in a calendar year. Vinted says there is no need to contact it if you reach the thresholds earlier in the year.
Vinted says completing a report and sharing information does not mean there is an obligation to pay taxes on your Vinted sales, and that DAC7 reporting does not require you to do anything new about your taxation obligations. Revenue says DAC7 did not introduce any new tax obligations for sellers: your tax obligations are the same as in any other sector.
Revenue separates selling things you no longer need from regularly buying items to sell on at a profit. Revenue's example of buy-to-resell, quoted below, is someone who must declare the profit on an Income Tax Return. Whether your own selling is a trade depends on your facts, so check Revenue's guidance or ask a tax adviser.
Revenue says an individual seller who is a PAYE employee may be taxed on any non-PAYE income earned through a platform, and must declare additional profits from selling online by submitting an Income Tax Return. Revenue lists two thresholds for registering for self-assessment.
Revenue says that where the income received exceeds the VAT registration thresholds, the person must register for VAT. VAT may apply if turnover exceeds Revenue's registration thresholds. We have not quoted the threshold figures here: check them on Revenue's website.
"Sarah bought a handbag for a wedding. The handbag is no longer required so she decides to sell it. When purchased new by Sarah, the handbag cost €500. Sarah advertised the handbag for sale on a platform and sold it for €400. As Sarah made no profit on the sale of the handbag, she has no additional tax liability. In this case, Sarah is not obliged to declare the sale of the bag as she did not generate additional income on the sale."
Quoted from Revenue: information reported in respect of sellers under DAC7, checked 10 November 2026. This is Revenue's example, not ours.
"John regularly buys and sells items on platforms with a view to making a profit. In the course of the year, he received €3,500 from the sale of items online. The items were originally purchased by John for €2,300. John must declare the profit made of €1,200 (that is, €3,500 - €2,300) on his Income Tax Return for the year."

Checked on 10 November 2026. Vinted and Revenue can change their guidance, so read the official pages.
Vinted's DAC7 page also links a Tax Rules for Ireland page. It needs a Vinted login, so we have not summarised it.

Not in itself. Vinted says completing a report does not mean there is an obligation to pay taxes on your Vinted sales. Revenue says DAC7 did not introduce any new tax obligations for sellers. Whether tax is due depends on your own circumstances.
Revenue's example is a person who regularly buys and sells items on platforms with a view to making a profit. In that example, Revenue says the seller must declare the profit (sales of €3,500 minus €2,300 paid for the items, a profit of €1,200) on an Income Tax Return.
Revenue says you must register for self-assessment if your taxable non-PAYE income exceeds €5,000 or your gross non-PAYE income exceeds €30,000. PAYE employees must declare additional profits from selling online on an Income Tax Return.
Revenue says a person must register for VAT where the income received exceeds the registration thresholds. Check the current thresholds on Revenue's website; we have not quoted them here.
