HMRC actually receives sales data directly from PayPal, Etsy, eBay, etc., meaning that even casual sellers are being flagged by their AI-powered system.
So, in this video, I reveal how one client of mine - an online seller - was nearly fined £3,000 by HMRC for simply clearing out a few unwanted bits and bobs.
I'll walk you through a real case study, show you exactly what triggers an HMRC investigation, and explain how to avoid fines, penalties, or worse. Whether you're making oddly-scented candles for Etsy or flipping stinky vintage trainers on Vinted, this could save you a whole heap of trouble.
