Do I pay tax on Depop sales in Australia?

If you're occasionally selling personal items at a loss — no. But if you're regularly buying to resell for profit, the ATO considers this a business and it IS taxable.

When does Depop selling become a 'business'?

Key indicators: regular/repeated sales, buying stock to resell, having a business plan, and intent to make a profit. The ATO looks at the overall picture.

⚠️ ATO Note: If you're selling personal items at a loss, it's generally not taxable. But regular selling for profit IS a business — you need an ABN.

Before Depop pays you: you need an Australian Business Number (ABN). Registration is free at abr.gov.au and takes about 10 minutes — without one, platforms must withhold 47% as “no-ABN withholding.” You only register for GST once turnover passes $75,000/year — below that, no GST and no BAS.
