What you get
A downloadable Excel workbook for a tax year, a calendar year or all recorded sales. It includes a summary of turnover, cost of goods, expenses and profit, a sale-by-sale ledger and an expenses sheet. Formulas stay live, so you can change a figure and see the totals update.
What you enter
- Item costs: what you paid for each item you sold. Apply one cost to several items at once if you bought a bundle.
- Expenses: packaging, postage supplies, software, travel and other business costs, each with a category.
Entries are saved to your Listel account as you go.
Laid out for Self Assessment
Expense categories map to the boxes on the Self Assessment short form (SA103S). The report also shows a trading allowance check against the £1,000 allowance and the cost coverage of your sold items, so you can see where figures are missing.
Dates and tax years
The UK tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April. The report groups sales by UK date, so a sale on the evening of 5 April stays in the right year.
What it does not do
It does not decide whether you are trading, calculate the tax you owe, or file a return, and it is not tax advice. Box numbers can change between tax years, so check the figures against the form for your year and speak to an accountant if you are unsure. Platforms such as Vinted must report sellers who reach 30 sales or about €2,000 in a calendar year to HMRC, so keeping records is worthwhile even if you owe nothing.

Common questions
Do I pay tax on Vinted sales in the UK?
Selling your own unwanted items is generally not taxable, but buying to resell can count as trading. Check HMRC’s guidance or ask an accountant about your situation.
Can Listel file my tax return?
No. The report prepares figures laid out for the Self Assessment short form. You or your accountant still complete and file the return.
Does the report work out my profit?
Yes, from the item costs and expenses you enter. Items without a cost are flagged so you can see what is missing.
