Read our guide on tax declarations in 2025

Have you also joined the second-hand market by selling your clothes that are too small for you or that you no longer wear on Vinted, which have been sitting in your closet? Like many other Vinties, you were surprised to discover when filing your tax return that the total amount of all your Vinted sales for the year 2023 has been reported to the tax authorities?

Yes, the clothes you sell from your wardrobe are taxable. But don’t worry, we’re here to explain in this article what this amount reported to the tax authorities means, why it magically appeared on your tax return, how to avoid being taxed on your Vinted sales, and whether you really need to pay taxes on these occasional earnings.

Take a deep breath, and let’s dive into the details!

Are my Vinted sales taxable?

Yes and no. Yes, if your profits exceed €3,000 in a year. No, if your profits from the Vinted platform do not exceed €3,000 in a year. Did you know that the income generated from selling your clothes on Vinted has been taxable since 2018? Don’t worry, very few Vinties are aware of this and have been just as surprised as you!

You need to declare all your Vinted income generated during the year 2023 when you file your taxes, which takes place in April 2023. The question you’re probably asking at this point is: Are these occasional earnings from my Vinted sales taxable? The answer is no! Feeling relieved?

There is, however, a particularity.

If you’re selling clothes from your little one who is growing too fast or even your own clothes that you no longer wear and want to replace with trendier options, you are not taxable! Your activity is strictly occasional, as these are clothes you no longer wish to keep.

On the other hand, if you are a professional selling clothes through Vinted on behalf of your thrift business, for example, you need to declare your Vinted income, and it will be taxable. This is a professional activity that must be regulated by the Ministry of Economy.

Why declare Vinted income to the tax authorities?

“But if my Vinted income is not taxable, why do I need to declare it?”

That’s the question you’re asking? We have the answer.

Indeed, Article 242 bis of the General Tax Code, which was modified by the law of October 23, 2018, relating to the fight against fraud, requires online sales platforms available in France, such as Vinted, Leboncoin, BlaBlacar, and many others, to provide a summary of all sales and thus income generated from the occasional sale of items or clothing to the French tax administration.

Since January 1, 2019, Vinted is therefore required to communicate to the government:

• the identity of its users (including you),
• the number of sales made during the year (as you’ve cleared out your closets),
• the total income generated from these sales during the year (for all packages sent).

However, you should theoretically be informed by Vinted about the sending of this information, as well as its content via email. Don’t worry, if you haven’t received an email, it’s very easy to find this information on your Vinted account. Want to know how to find the total amount of your annual income from your clothing sales on Vinted? Feel free to read our 4-step guide to download your annual Vinted income report. Alternatively, you can also choose to keep a detailed document summarizing all your Vinted sales or regularly track your Vinted sales. This way, there are no surprises!

How to declare your Vinted income on your tax return?

The income you generated in 2023 did not appear on your tax return, but it will appear on your 2024 tax return? You don’t have to worry, the tax administration’s system was not yet active in 2022, but it became operational in 2022. However, even though Vinted shared the total amount of your sales with the tax authorities, that doesn’t mean you will be taxed on that amount!

Do you want to avoid, or even not pay taxes on the income you generate from selling your clothes on Vinted? It’s very simple; you just need to follow these 2 rules:

1. Do not exceed the threshold of €3,000 in profits in total over 1 year,
2. Do not make more than 20 transactions per year.

So, feeling reassured? Great, so are we!

To your closets!

Isn’t that good news? You can continue to clear out your closets, fill your Vinted wardrobe, and sell your items on Vinted without your sales income being taxable.
