VAT question

Hello! I am a private seller selling some items since June 2024. Why am I suddenly getting charged 0.45 for VAT? Shouldn't ebay just leave me to declare whatever possible income I might have at the end of the tax year as part of my self-assessment? Taking into account all my capital expenses, I haven't even broke even with my items and already being charged a VAT. I only sell UK to UK.

Ebay is a business, so charge VAT on their fees.

this includes buyers premium fee.

VAT question

Why are they charging me just now from April 2025? Is it something to do with how I listed an item or I can't do anything about it? I noticed, the one with the VATs are mostly the one with Prepaid label. I have not had prepaid labels before. I used to print my own labels through eBay still. Thanks

There is VAT included in the price of the prepaid label.

 

If you do self assessment for your ebay sales, you need an ebay business account
