Default Ebay - charging per mile for delivery, do you charge for journey in both directions?

Nonsense. If it wasn't a trade sale, and it wasn't bought specifically
to sell, there will be no tax. You don't pay tax when you sell your
own property. How much you charged for delivery would have no affect
on that. If it was a trade sale you would pay tax on your annual
profit.


I can see why you don't want anyone knowing who you really are. (That's
effect, not affect, btw.) Wrong on mileage. Also wrong on tax on personal
property. You are most certainly liable if you make a profit over the
annual
limit - and the mileage has an impact on that accounting.


The limit being £9,000 odd a year. And that's profit, not sale value.
Most things you sell 2nd hand will go for less than what you paid for
them, not more.


I said *profit*. And it's £9.2K, unless they choose to count it as chattels,
of course. So, you do pay tax if you sell your own property.
