UK eBay sellers receive tax warning

Published February 12th, 2007


Sellers on the auction website Ebay are being warned to check if they need to register as self-employed with HM Revenue and Customs and pay tax.

Research suggests that about 68,000 people make all or a substantial part of their living selling things on Ebay.

However HMRC suspects that many can be defined as self-employed traders but are not paying their proper taxes.

It is warning them that they should pay income tax, national insurance and possibly value added taxas well.
