Vinted & DAC7 in Ireland: Do You Owe Tax in 2026?
Sell enough on Vinted from Ireland and Revenue is going to see it — cross 30 sales or €2,000 in revenue on a platform within a calendar year and the platform is legally required to report your data. That's DAC7, and it's already caught plenty of Irish sellers by surprise who assumed a wardrobe clear-out was nobody's business but their own.

What Ireland sellers need to know
Here's the reassurance worth holding onto: being reported and owing tax are two separate questions in Ireland, same as everywhere else in the EU. Selling your own used personal items — things you bought for yourself and are now passing on — generally isn't taxable. Revenue getting a report of your sales activity doesn't change that; it just means they now have visibility they didn't have before.
The line that actually matters is whether you're trading. Buying items specifically to resell, or making things to sell regularly, starts to look like a trade for income tax purposes, which brings in questions of self-assessment and possibly registering as self-employed. Occasional private sales of your own belongings sits on the other side of that line entirely, DAC7 threshold or not.
One detail worth knowing: the 30-sales-or-€2,000 threshold is tracked per platform, per calendar year. If you sell on Vinted and DoneDeal, say, each one is counted separately rather than combined into a single total.
Run your own sales through the checker above, and if you're close to the threshold and genuinely unsure whether your activity has drifted from personal selling into something that looks more like a trade, that's worth a proper conversation with an accountant rather than a guess.

Frequently asked questions
Does being reported under DAC7 mean Revenue will tax my Vinted sales?
Not automatically. DAC7 is a reporting requirement on the platform, not a tax assessment. Selling your own used personal items generally is not taxable in Ireland, reported or not.
When does selling become a "trade" for Irish tax purposes?
Roughly: when you're buying or making items specifically to resell, or doing it regularly enough that it resembles a business rather than occasional private selling. It's not always a clean line — when in doubt, ask an accountant.
Does the DAC7 threshold combine across platforms like Vinted and DoneDeal?
No — 30 sales or €2,000 is tracked separately per platform, per calendar year.
What is the DAC7 threshold for Irish sellers?
30 sales or €2,000 in a calendar year, the same EU-wide threshold as every other member state.
