Vinted Pro Italy 2026: Partita IVA, DAC7 and When You Must Register

If you sell on Vinted with any regularity, sooner or later the question comes up: do I need to open a partita IVA (Italian VAT number)? Do I have to declare it to the tax office? And the famous DAC7, what does it really change? In 2026 the picture has changed — thresholds, automatic reports to the Agenzia delle Entrate (Italian Revenue Agency) and a Supreme Court ruling have reshuffled the rules for anyone reselling clothing online. Here we explain point by point how Vinted Pro works in Italy, when the partita IVA obligation kicks in and how to move without mistakes.

Vinted Pro Italy: what it is and where things stand in 2026

Vinted Pro is Vinted's B2B programme for professional sellers — the well-known "business account" already active in France, the UK and Spain. It lets you issue invoices automatically, handle higher volumes, access dedicated analytics tools and publish listings with the "Professional seller" label clearly visible to buyers.

In Italy, however, Vinted Pro has not yet been launched as an official programme — Italian resellers still use the standard account, with practical limits and no built-in tax support. Vinted IT has confirmed the rollout is planned for the coming months, but for now (May 2026) there is no official date.

This doesn't mean that anyone selling regularly on Vinted in Italy is exempt from tax obligations — quite the opposite. Even without Vinted Pro, if you resell systematically you are required to get compliant. Let's see why.

DAC7: the EU directive that changed everything

DAC7 is EU Directive 2021/514, transposed in Italy by Legislative Decree 32/2023. Since January 2024, all digital platforms — Vinted, Wallapop, eBay, Subito, Depop — are required to automatically report to the Agenzia delle Entrate the data of sellers who exceed certain thresholds.

The DAC7 thresholds in Italy are OR (alternative), not AND. Exceeding just one is enough to be reported:

• More than 30 sales in the calendar year, OR
• More than €2.000 in revenue in the calendar year

It's important to understand what "reported" means: Vinted doesn't decide whether you have to pay taxes — the Agenzia delle Entrate decides that by analysing your data. The report is automatic, anonymous for Vinted and goes straight into your tax file at the Revenue Agency. The 2024 tax return, filed between April and June 2025, was the first year in which real DAC7 data ended up in the Agency's databases. From that point on, nothing is "invisible" anymore.

Cassazione 7552/2025: selling habitually = commercial activity

On 21 March 2025 the Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione, ruling no. 7552/2025) set a firm point that anyone selling on Vinted should read:

"Online sales carried out on a habitual basis, even in the absence of a formal business structure, constitute commercial activity in every respect, with the resulting obligation to register for VAT and pay tax on the income produced."

In practical terms: you don't need a shop, employees or a website to be considered a "trader". If you resell systematically — even just from home, even just on Vinted, even just with your smartphone — the Agenzia delle Entrate can classify you as a sole proprietorship and require you to sort out partita IVA, VAT and IRPEF (income tax).

The ruling particularly affects those who buy goods to resell them (the classic case of the Vinted reseller who buys a vintage KiloBox and then lists the pieces individually on Vinted), distinguishing them from those who only sell items from their own wardrobe.

Four scenarios to understand where you stand

The rules distinguish four cases. Understanding which one you fall into is the first step in deciding whether declaring is enough or whether you need to open a partita IVA.

• Scenario 1 — Purely occasional. You sell 5-10 items a year from your own wardrobe, at a loss (you paid more for them than you resell them for). No tax obligation — art. 67 TUIR (other income) doesn't apply because there is no capital gain. DAC7 threshold not exceeded.
• Scenario 2 — "Borderline" occasional. You sell 20-30 items a year, above €500-€1.500, still your own stuff. You stay below the DAC7 threshold, but if you sell at a gain (a vintage piece found in the attic that's worth more than what was originally paid), the gain is theoretically taxable as "other income" (art. 67 letter l TUIR — marginal excess).
• Scenario 3 — Systematic but not professional. You exceed 30 sales OR €2.000/year. Vinted reports you under DAC7. If the sales are still "occasional and not organised", the tax office may accept them as other income (modello 730 / Redditi PF form). A grey area that depends on the specific case — better to talk to an accountant.
• Scenario 4 — Systematic professional. You buy to resell (KiloBox, wholesale lots, flea markets), yours is an organised flow. You are a commercial activity in every respect — Cassazione 7552/2025. Partita IVA mandatory, VAT, INPS (social security), ATECO code.

If your activity looks like the typical scenario of the reseller making a few hundred euros a month reselling purchased items, you're in Scenario 4 — full stop.

Regime forfettario: the most common choice for Vinted resellers

For the vast majority of Vinted IT resellers, the most convenient tax structure is the regime forfettario (Italian flat-rate scheme). Here are the 2026 figures:

• Tax rate: 15% on taxable revenue (calculated with a profitability coefficient). 5% for the first 5 years if you meet the new-business requirements (no previous activity in the same sector in the last 3 years).
• Revenue cap: €85.000/year (unchanged for 2026).
• ATECO code: 47.79.1 (retail sale of second-hand goods in stores) or 47.91.1 (retail sale via the internet).
• Profitability coefficient for ATECO 47.79.1 / 47.91.1: 40% — meaning 40% of revenue is taxable, on the remaining 60% you pay nothing.
• INPS contributions: Gestione Commercianti (traders' scheme) — roughly €4.300-€4.500/year fixed minimum, plus a percentage on income above the minimum threshold.
• No VAT to charge customers (no small competitive advantage).
• No sector studies, no ISA, simplified bookkeeping.

Practical example: you resell €15.000 of vintage clothing in a year. Taxable income = €15.000 × 40% = €6.000. Substitute tax 15% = €900 (or 5% = €300 for the first 5 years if you qualify). Add the fixed INPS Commercianti contributions and you reach roughly €5.000-€5.500 in total costs — all included. Not bad for a business that lets you work from home.

Operational checklist: how to prepare before opening a partita IVA

If you've realised you fall into Scenario 4 (or you're heading there), these are the concrete steps, in the right order:

• Step 1 — Do the real maths. Calculate revenue, costs (KiloBox, shipping, Vinted fees), net margin. If the projected annual margin is below €5.000-€6.000, opening a partita IVA might not be worth it — better to build up more structure first.
• Step 2 — Choose an accountant who knows e-commerce. Not the family accountant. Look for one specialised in Vinted/eBay/marketplaces — the difference shows in the ATECO choice, the tax regime and the allowable deductions.
• Step 3 — Open a partita IVA under the regime forfettario. Online through the Agenzia delle Entrate website, with SPID or CIE (digital identity). Time: 1-2 working days. Cost: zero. You need the correct ATECO code (47.79.1 or 47.91.1).
• Step 4 — Register with INPS Gestione Commercianti. Mandatory within 30 days of opening. Your accountant does it, or you do it on the INPS website with SPID.
• Step 5 — Register with the Chamber of Commerce (REA). Mandatory, cost ~€100-€150 one-off + €50/year annual fee.
• Step 6 — Electronic invoicing software. Mandatory since 2024 even for the flat-rate scheme. Aruba, Fatture in Cloud, Fatturapa — they cost €30-€60/year.
• Step 7 — Update your Vinted profile. When Vinted Pro Italy goes live, you'll be able to upgrade your account to "Pro" by entering your partita IVA and tax details. Until then you carry on with the standard account, but with all your tax obligations in order.

How WintageClub simplifies the path

When you resell vintage in a structured way, the first thing that changes is the traceability of your purchase sources. An accountant or the Agenzia delle Entrate will want to see purchase invoices, not receipts from random flea markets. That's why working with a structured, traceable vintage supplier becomes the operational foundation for anyone who wants to do things properly.

WintageClub KiloBoxes are designed precisely for this: automatic electronic invoice made out to your partita IVA, progressive discounts on the 5kg / 10kg / 20kg / 50kg formats and verified brand selection (Levi's, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Stone Island, vintage Nike). All purchase documentation can be downloaded from the customer area — perfect for the bookkeeping of your regime forfettario.

Quick FAQ

• "I sell little, do I still have to declare?" — Below the DAC7 thresholds (30 sales OR €2.000), if you sell your own items at a loss, no. Above the thresholds or if you buy to resell, yes.
• "Can I skip the partita IVA and declare as other income?" — Only if your activity is genuinely occasional and not organised. Cassazione 2025 raised the bar — if you buy to resell, you are a business.
• "Vinted already reports my sales, do I have to do it too?" — Yes. The DAC7 report tells the Agency how much you sold. It's up to you to declare the taxable income in the correct tax form.
• "And if I ignore all of this?" — Since mid-2025 the first tax assessment notices have been sent to Vinted / Wallapop / eBay sellers. Penalties of 90-180% on the evaded tax plus interest. Better to get compliant first.

Conclusion: start right, not halfway

The message behind DAC7 and Cassazione 2025 is clear: the Vinted reseller market has come out of the tax shadows. The good news is that the regime forfettario makes the path accessible — with total costs under €5.500/year you can handle up to €85.000 in annual revenue, with electronic invoicing and simplified bookkeeping. The bad news for those who keep stalling is that the checks have started.

If you want to start right, start from a solid base of traceable stock. WintageClub KiloBoxes come with an electronic invoice, verified brand selection and per-kilo prices designed for reselling on Vinted (results depend on how you price and sell).
