Vinted and tax in France: DAC7, personal sales and reselling in 2026
Every year, Vinted passes some sellers' details to the tax office. That does not mean you owe tax, but you need to know which side you are on: selling your own things, or reselling.
DAC7: what Vinted reports
Under the EU DAC7 directive, online marketplaces report to the tax authorities the sellers who pass either of these thresholds in a calendar year:
- 30 or more sales, or
- more than €2,000 of sales.
Vinted contacts the sellers concerned before the end of the year to complete their details (a pre-filled form, with your tax number). The report reaches the tax office early the following year, and you receive a summary: number of sales, net amount received, fees withheld. These amounts may appear pre-filled in your impots.gouv.fr account.
Being reported does not mean owing tax. What matters is the nature of your activity.
Selling your own things: in principle not taxable
Clearing out your wardrobe is not income: selling second-hand personal belongings you no longer use is in principle not taxable.
There are exceptions:
- Jewellery, art or collectibles sold for more than €5,000: flat-rate tax (form 2091).
- Other goods sold for more than €5,000 each: capital gain taxed (form 2048-M).
- Furniture, household appliances and cars always remain exempt.
Buying to resell: a commercial activity
If you buy items in order to resell them, you carry on a commercial activity, and its income is taxable as industrial and commercial profits (BIC).
Two common situations:
- Occasional activity, no status: you declare your takings under micro-BIC on form 2042 C PRO (line 5NO). A 71% allowance applies (minimum €305): you are taxed on 29% of your takings.
- Micro-enterprise: you declare your turnover monthly or quarterly to Urssaf, and report it on your income tax return (line 5KO, or 5TA with the flat-rate tax option).
Micro-enterprise figures for 2026
| Item | Sale of goods |
|---|---|
| Turnover ceiling | €203,100 a year |
| Social contributions | 12.3% of turnover |
| With flat-rate income tax | 13.3% |
| VAT exemption threshold | €85,000 (higher threshold €93,500) |
ACRE, which reduces contributions in the first year, must now be requested and amounts to a 25% reduction.
And on Vinted’s side?
Vinted’s terms reserve standard accounts for personal use. A professional reseller must use Vinted Pro, which is free and places other obligations on sellers. Our guide Vinted Pro or a personal account covers the differences.
