HMRC eBay

[lindy52]

Can someone please explain what is being submitted to HMRC from ebay? It's unclear and difficult to understand. Many people report on an April to April date. But the report from ebay, if I understand correctly, is January to December. How does this match or make any sense for HMRC?

I believe I understand the date to be the calendar year of 2024 and will proceed from there each calendar year, is this correct? So is it that after 2024 and 2025 reporting years are added together it will make sense? Please can anyone clear up this confusion because I do not understand what I am reporting and what ebay is reporting, or how these reporting years make sense.

I am surprised that this isn't a more frequent question and the few times I see someone ask it, on ebay or other locations, there's very little insight.

There's info on .gov and ebay about this. You haven't provided any info on your use case so guesswork required.

I don't understand your answer. It isn't clear on those sites about dates. Everything seems to indicate a calendar year (2024) but then for most doing taxes that would only cover 3 months of overlap. No one has explained this. How it's useful.
