DAC7 and Vinted: what crossing 30 sales or €2,000 really means

Guide · Tax & Vinted · Reading time: 5 minutes · June 2026

The same message keeps popping up in Vinted groups: "I got a request for my tax details — do I have to pay taxes now?!". Breathe: a DAC7 report is not a tax. Let's see what it actually is, without the panic and without the jargon.

What DAC7 is, in one sentence

DAC7 is an EU directive (in force since 1 January 2023) that requires online platforms — Vinted, eBay, Airbnb, all of them — to report sellers' data to the tax authorities when they cross certain thresholds. The platform sends the data; the tax authority receives it. That's all it is: an exchange of information, not a charge.

The thresholds: 30 sales OR €2,000

Vinted has to report you if, in a calendar year, you reach at least one of these two conditions:

• 30 completed sales, or
• €2,000 in proceeds received

Crossing just one is enough. That's why Vinted, as you get close to the thresholds, asks for your tax details (tax code, etc.): if you don't provide them, it can end up suspending your payouts or your profile, because it's the one on the hook.

Being reported ≠ being taxed

Here's the part that causes the most anxiety: being reported does not mean you owe tax. In Italy, selling your own used items occasionally — the clothes you no longer wear, the console you don't use — generally produces no taxable income: you're offloading personal belongings, almost always for less than you paid. No gain, no income.

It's a different story when the activity becomes habitual and organised: you buy stock to resell it, you make a margin systematically — that's effectively a business. In that case tax obligations very much exist (up to registering for VAT), regardless of DAC7, which merely makes visible what you're already doing.

What to do, in practice

1. Keep count. Knowing how many sales and how many euros you're at is the only way to avoid being caught off guard by the thresholds.
2. Separate sales from purchases. For the thresholds, what counts are your sales, not what you buy.
3. Keep your history. If the tax authority ever asked for clarification, having dates, amounts and items sold is your best defence: it proves you were selling your own things, at a loss.
4. If it has become a job, treat it like one. High volumes and buying to resell = an accountant, before the tax authority calls you first.

Where VintPro helps

VintPro automatically tracks the DAC7 thresholds in the yearly summary: you see in real time how many sales and how many euros you're at, year by year, and all your history stays yours (in your browser and in your personal cloud — not on our servers, which don't exist).
