Protecting your business from Digital Services Tax costs
Dear eBay seller,
You might have seen a lot of interest in the news over the last few days about potential extra costs as a result of the UK’s new Digital Services Tax.
This is a tax which came into effect on 1 April 2020 and is targeted at online marketplaces, social media platforms and search engines which attract sales from UK consumers. The tax amounts to 2% of all revenues made online from UK users on those marketplaces.
eBay is one of the marketplaces which will have to pay the new tax – and a lot of you have asked whether we at eBay will be passing on this tax to our sellers in the form of new fees.
We wanted to reassure you that we won’t do that, so you will not be charged additional new fees as a result of this tax.
A big thank you to all 300,000 of you who sell on our platform and continue to make eBay a diverse and vibrant marketplace for sellers of all sizes.
