Frequently asked questions

Do I have to pay taxes on Etsy sales?

Yes. Etsy income is taxable business income in the US, UK, EU, Canada and Australia, even if it is a side hustle. You are taxed on profit (revenue minus allowable expenses), not on gross sales.

How much tax should I set aside from Etsy income?

A common rule for US sellers is 25–30% of net profit to cover federal income tax plus 15.3% self-employment tax. UK sole traders usually set aside 20–30% for income tax and National Insurance.

What is the Etsy 1099-K threshold?

Etsy issues a US 1099-K based on the IRS threshold in force for that tax year, but your income is reportable whether or not you receive the form. Keep your own records of every payout.

Does Etsy collect sales tax for me?

Etsy automatically calculates, collects and remits US sales tax in states with marketplace facilitator laws, and handles VAT on digital downloads for EU/UK buyers. You still owe income tax on your profit.

Which Etsy expenses are deductible?

Materials, Etsy fees, shipping and packaging, ad spend, subscriptions, home-office use, mileage and equipment are typically deductible. Confirm with a local accountant.
