Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you'll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You're unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year - generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit - the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won't be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you'll still need to pay tax as normal.
But at the same time, others shared what they do to sell items fast, as one woman simply wrote: 'Accept all offers.'

Another agreed and penned: 'Accepting reasonable offers, send items the same/next day.'
Whilst a third explained: 'I also sell preloved clothing! Shipped either the same day or next day! I accept offers and bundles!!'

Drivers shave whopping £200 off car insurance with easy trick, experts find
We've also shared other tips to lower your costs THOUSANDS of drivers could shave hundreds of pounds off their car insurance premiums with an easy trick. Consumer group Which? found that some motorists managed to knock over £200 off their renewal quotes simply by haggling. 1 CEBPE6 car insurance renewal notification in the uk Credit: Alamy The watchdog said the size of some discounts raises questions about some insurers offering fair value. Which? commissioned a survey of more than 2,000 people across the UK with car insurance, asking how, if at all, the cost of cover has changed since their last renewal. Around six in 10 (59%) said they haggled with their insurer, with most doing so over the phone. Three-fifths (61%) of those who contacted their insurer received a reduction to the original price offered. The average amount motorists that pay annually for cover saved per year was £64. Although some received much more sizeable reductions, with 5% of these people saying they were able to save more than £200 after haggling. Overall, nearly half (49%) of drivers noticed their premium go up at their last renewal, while a quarter (27%) saw a reduction Nearly a quarter (23%) said it had not changed and 1% did not know. The survey also indicated that customers facing challenges at renewal – for example experiencing a difficult life event or a health condition – appear to have a different experience of haggling than those who were not. Vulnerable customers were more likely to discuss their premium with their insurer, and these discussions led to price reductions at similar rates. Cut car insurance costs and save money But these customers were also more likely to have to change their policy to get the lower price and were less likely to say they found the process easy, according to Which? With some motorists receiving such hefty discounts after haggling, Which? believes there are "serious questions" about whether the first offer from the insurer in some cases really represents fair value. It also said that with many people renewing without discussing the price, some customers may be paying over the odds. Sam Richardson, deputy editor of Which? Money, said: "While some people may feel daunted by haggling with their insurer, this research underlines how it is worth doing for many consumers and is likely to be one of the most effective ways to cut the cost of your renewal." Haggle like a pro If your insurer has increased its renewal price, ask it to justify the increase. Then point out the lower prices you have found elsewhere, and ask your insurer if it can better those offers. If it is not able to provide a better quote, state that you are willing to go elsewhere. If you have been a loyal customer for many years, it could be worth mentioning this. If the insurer is not budging much on the premium but you would still like to stick with your provider, one option could be to ask for an add-on (such as breakdown cover) to be thrown in. Just make sure that it is worth it. In 2022, rules were implemented to end a "loyalty penalty" paid by longstanding insurance customers. Under the rules, when existing home and motor insurance customers renew their insurance policy, the price charged by the insurance provider cannot be more expensive than the price that they charge an equivalent new customer for the equivalent policy. An Association of British Insurers (ABI) spokesperson added: "Variations between an initial online quote and a bespoke telephone offer often come down to a deeper dive into individual factors – such as your vehicle's security measures, driving habits, level of cover and choice of voluntary excess. "We'd always recommend shopping around to secure cover that truly meets your needs, not just based on price." Other ways to cut your car insurance premium Pay upfront Many insurers charge extra fees for monthly payment plans. These can vary, but might include set-up fees, transaction charges or interest for spreading the cost over several months. By paying annually, you can avoid these extra costs and keep more money in your pocket. Drivers can typically save up to £59 by paying for their annual car insurance premium in one lump sum, according to Which?. Which insurers don't charge interest? IF you can't afford to pay your insurance upfront, there are some firms that don't charge interest on monthly payments. Most car insurance firms charge interest on monthly payments ranging form just 5% APR all the way up to a whopping 39.11% APR. However, NFU Mutual and Hiscox do not charge interest on monthly repayments. Tweak your job Certain jobs are seen as more risky than others for insurance purposes. So making small but accurate changes to your job title can save you money. For example, swapping your role from "chef" to "caterer" can save you £20, GoCompare found. And changing from 'fast food delivery driver' to 'delivery driver' could save you £40. But lying about your job could invalidate your policy, so make sure any tweaks are legitimate and accurate. Save the date Renewing your car insurance sooner rather than later could save you some cash. New cover becomes more expensive the closer you get to renewal. You can buy your insurance up to 29 days before the policy start date and "lock in" the price you are quoted that day. According to GoCompare, a typical driver can save up to £150 by buying new cover at least 26 days before their current policy ends. Increase your excess Your excess is what you agree to pay each time you need to make a claim on your policy. When setting up, you can usually choose your own excess, which can be as low as £100 and as high as £500 or more. The higher your excess, the lower your premium and vice versa. This means you could lower the cost of your insurance by agreeing to pay more if you need to make a claim. But before you hike your excess, make sure you would be able to afford it if necessary.

Northern Ireland farm focus: Changing the field with new technologies and sustainable practices
From artificial intelligence feeding stock, to waste-free meat production, many farmers in Northern Ireland are doing things differently to stay viable and sustainable in a tough climate. In the last week during our Farm Focus series, we have looked at issues plaguing the industry, including the scourge of TB, the uncertainty of IHT changes, the struggle with mental health in rural communities and more, while proposed changes to environmental rules in the Nutrient Action Plan r ecently caused a furore as farmers said they would decimate the industry. This final piece in the series looks at futuristic feeding, high-tech tracking, and diversification to stay as efficient and resilient as possible against the backdrop of the complicated challenges facing the agri-economy in Northern Ireland. UTV spent time on two farms which seem very different on paper, but have a lot in common. Husband and wife duo Charlie and Becky Cole run a 'mixed-enterprise' at Broughgammon Farm, and there is a seemingly endless list of what they do on just 50-acres. Situated outside Ballycastle, they rear kid goats and veal calves and free range pork, they have an on-site butchery, they produce their own eggs, fruit and vegetables, and they sell all this fare in their farm shop, their cafe and from their burger carts which can be found at various events across the island. It doesn't stop there - every Tuesday, huge groups of tourists take tours of the farm. They also host classes including cheese-making, butchery and foraging, and they even offer a bird-watching walk scheduled. This farm has tried to build up a farm-to-fork model which is integrated in the community and things are going well, but they are not immune to the current challenges facing the sector - especially the uncertainty of businesses planning during uncertain times with ever-changing policy. You can listen to more of Charlie's interview here. Meanwhile, less than 20 miles away at Carnhill Holsteins, you'll find Casey family tending to their dairy herd just outside Cloughmills. They have come a long way since Cahal Casey was milking by hand - things are different not for his son Conor and 18-year-old grandson Charlie. They have robotic milking systems installed, and the tech does not stop there. A state-of-the-art autonomous feeder ferries feed, which it mixes itself from forage and meal bins, to the cattle. This saves an estimated three-hours of manual labour per day, allowing Conor some time to document his farming life on TikTok. The cattle themselves wear tracking collars. These collect health data like temperature and rumination, and convey that back to Conor's phone. It means that he never misses a fertility window and can spot sickness before clinical signs appear, and Conor swears by these valuable stats as a game-changer. Listen as Conor explains how these investments have helped him "modernise and push the boundaries of efficiency and sustainability". As well as the robotics, the Caseys also use AI in its other meaning. You'll have heard in the news report above that Broughgammon Farm buys in male kids and bull calves that would have been a by-product of the dairy industry and would have been euthanised. At Carnhill, they are using sexed-semen in their artificial insemination process meaning that no bull calves are born into their herd in the first place. These relative neighbours have vastly different operating models, but they are both set in the stunning surrounds of North Antrim, they each have three generations living and working together, and they both have sustainability at the core of what they do. The sun might not always shine when farmers want it to, but these business people are certainly working hard to make sure their futures stay bright.

Our editors love Yeti tumblers, and they're 20% off on Amazon right now
Few things are better than an ice-cold drink on a hot summer day. But keeping your beverage cold when it is sweltering out? Well, that's the real challenge — unless, of course, you have a Yeti.

Right now, several Yeti products are 20% off on Amazon — including its popular tumblers, as well as coolers and water bottles. Below, we've rounded up some of the best deals.

One of our favorite coolers, the Roadie cooler, has pressure-injected polyurethane walls and a freezer-quality gasket to lock in the cold, according to the brand. It can hold up to 33 cans or eight wine bottles vertically and has nonslip feet to prevent sliding. One thing to note: Only the wild vine red color is on sale.
