HMRC Reporting - One to Many letter Feb 2025 – Online Marketplace Sales
 
I know there has already been many discussions about this new HMRC reporting from the end of 2025 but just saw this I so thought a new thread might be useful as I suspect many will be getting these letters.

The attached link describe it as "HMRC One to Many letter – Online Marketplace Sales"

I have copied in the text from the link below.

Basically it seems they are contacting everyone, although interesting that it relates to the tax year April 2022 to April 2023

Anyone got one yet?

HMRC One to Many letter – Online Marketplace Sales

25 Feb 2025

HMRC have advised us that they have recently commenced a One to Many letter campaign directed at individuals whom they suspect are operating in the hidden economy and not reporting their income to HMRC. This is based on data HMRC have received from online marketplaces about sellers using their platforms. The purpose of the project is to inform these sellers that HMRC hold information about their online income, prompt them to come forward to make a disclosure to bring their tax affairs up to date, and bring them into compliance. The period under review is the period up to the tax year ending 5 April 2023.

Please tell us about income you’ve earned from online marketplace sales - letter

Assisting clients with making disclosures to HMRC - guidance for CIOT members
If the recipient of the letter has income to declare for any tax year up to 5 April 2023, HMRC’s letter tells them to follow the gov.uk guidance Tell HMRC about underpaid tax from previous years which will invite them to log into the Government Gateway to make a voluntary disclosure. The website page also links to the guidance Make a voluntary disclosure to HMRC which explains that there are several different ways of making a disclosure depending on what needs to be disclosed and the individual’s circumstances. The CIOT has produced guidance for members assisting clients who may have additional tax liabilities to disclose to HMRC – see Assisting clients with making disclosures to HMRC - guidance for CIOT members. It explains the different processes through which taxpayers can make disclosures and explains that members should choose the disclosure service which is most appropriate for their client’s circumstances given all the issues to be corrected and the reason(s) why the inaccuracy(ies) occurred. Members may find it helpful to refer to this guidance when assisting a client in responding to HMRC’s letter.

Extremely strange they are mentioning to end End of Tax Year 2023. The earliest date which could of been send for the marketplaces is for 2024.

HMRC has had access to such details for years , now it will just be streamlined

What does that have to do with this post?

I've seen one person on the main ebay forum say they have gone one, and they hadn't paid tax.

They both rolled the dice and ignored it and nothing else has happened since then..make of that what you will.

Well this article seems to agree with that. There is the following quote which I have taken from it which I am curious about

https://yourecommerceaccountant.co.u...online-income/


"However, HMRC used to be unable to determine the actual amounts you had been selling from these marketplaces.
This changed in January 2023, as HMRC could then request your sales information from these marketplaces, and some people started receiving letters from HMRC like the one you have received."


I wonder if this means (if it is true), that from Jan 2023 the HMRC could request actual selling amounts from any historic period, or they can only get the figures for items sold from Jan 2023 onwards?
