Tax or no tax on selling personal items from a collection.

Hi, I collect coins and over the years buy them and sell them as I see fit if they no longer are something I am collecting or I want to start a different collection. All the coins I collect are either silver britannias or gold sovereigns and half sovereigns. With all the fuss about ebay and reporting recently its totally confused me.. If I sell some of my coins on for example ebay then I always thought they were CGT free which means there is no tax to pay if they sold for more than I bought them for. Is this still the case or is there now some new form I will need to fill in which will tax me income tax on any cgt free profits I may have made? Thanks and a little confused.

Hi,

No, you do not declare these. You can see further guidance here:

BIM20255 - Meaning of trade: badges of trade: assets acquired for personal enjoyment

Thank you.

Hi, thank you for a very prompt response and the information on badges of trade. It is much appreciated.
