Worried about tax on your eBay or Vinted sales?

Being reported to HMRC isn't the same as owing tax. Two questions below and FlipTally tells you plainly: do you owe anything against the £1,000 allowance, and what to set aside. No sign-up, no spreadsheet.

What kind of selling is this?

Everything buyers paid you, before fees come off. Runs 6 Apr 2026 to 5 Apr 2027.

Helps us get your tax rate right, since your reselling sits on top of it.

Where do you live?

Scotland has its own income tax bands.

Estimates only, not tax advice. 2026/27 tax year, England, Wales & Northern Ireland rates. Always check with an accountant before you file.

Example

Do I need to tell HMRC?

Yes. You're over the £1,000 trading allowance, so you'll normally register for Self Assessment and report this.

Sales£8,420
Selling fees & postage-£1,180
Cost of stock-£2,300
Your profit£4,940
Income tax£988
Class 4 National Insurance£0
Set aside for tax£988

Example: reselling alongside a £25,000 day job, so the £4,940 profit is taxed at 20%. Your sales, fees and profit come straight from your connected account, to the penny; the tax shown is an estimate, not tax advice.

Being reported to HMRC isn't the same as owing tax

Two different dates trip everyone up: the tax year (6 Apr to 5 Apr) decides what you owe against the £1,000 allowance, while the calendar year decides when eBay and Vinted report you. FlipTally keeps the two apart for you.

How the two dates work →

We check our figure against your real bank payouts

FlipTally compares the number it works out with what eBay actually paid into your bank. If it matches, you know it is right. If some of it is still in eBay's pipeline, we show you that too. No black box, and no "just trust us".

One simple price

The full app is £59 £29 a year

The calculator stays free, forever. The full app, with automatic eBay sync, your profit dashboard, the live tax card, Vinted and your HMRC-ready Tax Pack, is a £29 founding price (rising to £59 for new members from January), or £6.99 a month. Cheaper than a single late-filing penalty, and a fraction of an accountant.
