Default Do you have to declare money made from sales on ebay?

Iv seen in the paper lately that the taxman has got a tax bot to scan ebay.
If i am purchasing items from dhgate to resell on ebay (probly sell around 50 - 70 items a month).
Do i need to upgrade my account to a buisness account?
Also if i kept it as a personal account how would any body know what and how much im selling?

Any advice will be appriciated.

Thanks in advance x

banks can report to the man, and the man can scan ebay and get business acc addresses on the listing.

tax dodging can lead to trouble

if you earn it then pay it

still leads to your bank though...unless you sell for cash on collection or use paypal money to buy stuff that you then sell for cash...

as TSMT said, paying some tax is your duty, chavs need their social security benefits

Might be best to hire an accountant if overly concerned.

If you earn the money then you should declare it and pay the tax.

If you need business and tax advice then your best to get an accountant.
