HMRC is watching your online sales on Ebay and other platforms
From January 1st 2024, online marketplaces and digital platforms are legally required to collect data on sellers and their income, and pass it to HMRC.
This will make it easier for the taxman to crack down on anyone selling through the likes of Vinted, eBay etc. and not notifying HMRC even if their total earnings are less than the personal allowance.

VAT Returns
HMRC have changed the way penalties are calculated for late filing and/or payment of VAT returns. This includes nil and repayment claims.
Under the new regime late submission penalties will work on a points-based system.
For each return you submit late, you will receive a penalty point until you reach the penalty point threshold. When you reach the threshold, you’ll receive a £200 penalty.

Capital Gains Tax on Rental/Holiday Lets
If you own a property that you rent out, be it a flat or house or a holiday let, you may have to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when you sell the property.
The rules relate to whether you are a UK resident; if you live abroad or have dual residency for tax purposes etc, then the rules are more complex; please contact us at clients@mhrconsultancy.co.uk
