The tax service reacted to information about fines for online sales of personal items.

The press service of the State Tax Service of Ukraine officially denied information that was recently circulated by some media regarding fines for selling personal items on online platforms.

'The information being spread by some media, claiming that the tax service has allegedly started to fine sellers on OLX, Prom, social networks, and other platforms and automatically tracks all money transfers to individuals' accounts, even when they are selling personal items online, is not true,' the STS pointed out.

The tax service explained that the sale of personal items by citizens is not grounds for liability for violations of tax legislation. Inspectors emphasized that a hallmark of entrepreneurial activity is the systematic sale of homogeneous goods, which does not apply to cases when citizens sell their personal items through OLX, Prom, or social networks.

At the same time, the tax service is enhancing control over internet sales, but exclusively for the purpose of preventing tax evasion in the field of entrepreneurship.

Representatives of the STS urged entrepreneurs working 'in the shadows' to voluntarily register as business entities, use properly registered RRO/PRRO, and comply with tax legislation to avoid financial sanctions and administrative liability in the future.

We also remind you that the National Bank has lifted limits on card transfers, but there is a nuance with banks.
