If you're selling off your private possessions on Vinted that you've owned for more than 6 months, you don't need a fiscal cash register. However, if you buy cheaper to sell for a profit, or your turnover from commercial activities exceeds the limit of 20 000 zł per year, you must equip yourself with a fiscal device. You should also know that selling certain goods, such as perfumes, strictly requires a cash register right from the very first transaction.
Understand When You Become an Entrepreneur
Selling on Vinted is a great way to generate extra income. However, you need to quickly identify the moment when the tax office will treat your account as a business activity – even an unregistered one.
You should treat your sales as commercial if:
You buy items with the intention of reselling them later for profit.
You continuously and systematically offer new goods.
You carry out organized activities, actively seek buyers, and systematically expand your inventory.
You generate a steadily growing income from sales.
When your activity bears the hallmarks of commercial trade, you become subject to strict tax obligations.
The 20 000 zł Limit in 2026 – How to Calculate It?
The primary exemption you can use in 2026 is the annual net turnover limit of 20 000 zł.
This limit applies to commercial sales made to individuals not conducting business activities.
The golden rule also applies to unregistered business activity (for which the quarterly revenue limit in 2026 is 10813,50 zł).
If you exceed 20 000 zł, you lose the right to the exemption. From that moment, you have exactly two months to install a fiscal cash register.
If you started selling during the year, you must calculate the 20 000 zł limit proportionally to the remaining days until the end of the tax year.
Watch Out for Perfumes – Goods Subject to a Mandatory Requirement
There is a group of products where the 20 000 zł limit does not apply at all. If you trade them commercially, you must have a cash register from the very first zł earned. On Vinted, this obligation applies in particular to:
Perfumes, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and colognes. Whether it's a new bottle or a tester – every single transaction requires you to issue a receipt.
Electronic equipment, computer hardware, jewelry, and precious metals.
Exception: If it's your personal, unwanted perfume or old electronics that met your personal needs and you have owned them for more than 6 months, the fiscalization obligation does not apply to you.
Lack of Buyer Address Blocks the Mail-Order Exemption
Many sellers mistakenly assume that the mere fact of shipping parcels via InPost exempts them from having a fiscal cash register. You should know that one of the conditions for this exemption is having proof with the buyer's full identification details, including their address. For security reasons, Vinted does not provide sellers with such detailed information. As a result, you cannot use the cash register exemption for mail-order sales.
DAC7 Reporting and the Risk of an Audit
Since 2023, the Vinted platform has been required to provide tax authorities with data on users who complete at least 30 sales transactions or whose revenue exceeds 2000 euro in a calendar year.
A report does not equal an immediate tax assessment, but it drastically increases the visibility of your operations.
This makes it easy for the National Revenue Administration to spot discrepancies between the Vinted report and your PIT tax return.
