Do you trade on E-bay, Amazon, GumTree or similar or know someone who does?
Did you know that the tax man has been collecting information from E-bay to identify traders who are not declaring their income?
HMRC have gathered names, ID’s and transactional information and are cross referencing this to self assessment records to identify individuals who should be registered as self employed.
Penalties are greater where HMRC discover the income before you declare it to them, so if you are already a client of Defacto and have been trading in this way but have not yet told us about it let us know as soon as possible – and remember that even if you are not making a profit the income should be declared and the losses recorded.
If you know someone who has been trading through one of these sites and may not have registered for self assessment then please pass on our details and let them know that we can help them to register and prepare their return.
