Purchase from a private person

MDP

Question

I would also like to regularly add second-hand items to my webshop. But now the question is how do you record a good purchase from a private person? And do you need proof from that person?

Of course, they don’t have a vAT number.

Thanks in advance for the information.

Check out the learning centre, there's a video from it ;-)

You will need proof of purchase. Nothing more than a document stating that the private person sold XYZ to you at that price. Maybe a tip for the Dexxter team, to include one in the learning center? :)

Thank you.

And if it's something you own, can you buy something from yourself and then sell it through your secondary occupation?

Hello,

Giel from the Dexxter team here!

You can make a purchase of goods from yourself, but you must ensure that you do so at market prices. Ideally, you should search for a number of similar prices through various channels where you can make purchases of second-hand goods. I suspect that the item you want to purchase from yourself will already be quite old.

Add that document from the second-hand website to your booking in Dexxer or keep it somewhere separate, just so that you have proof later (in case of a tax audit) of why you chose that price.

Regards,

Giel

Yes, and just to be clear, are you allowed to sell those items back?

Absolutely!
