Hi.
I am self-employed and am not a VAT payer.
What should I do if I don't have a ID taxpayer number to show?
If I don't show anything, will my store be closed?

So strange, we have all of our legal policies in place. I have no idea why it's taking so long!

You do not

right to withdraw and gdpr policy should be in settings - policy settings

your full address and e-mail address should be in main shop page
edit
scroll down to the bottom
sellers details - other details - add your address and email address there, and click professional seller, not individual, and save

and 30 day return policies on all listings

I don't need to have a UTR as my gross earnings are less than £1000 and therefore no need for me to fill in a tax return. However, I can't progress with the info requested by Etsy (and so prevent my shop going into 'holiday' mode) as far as I can see without one. Does anyone have a solution to this??

It looks like you can enter your National Insurance number (NINO) into Etsy, instead of a UTR number, it is in the Additional taxpayer ID list.

The £1000 threshold is income (order values including delivery charged to buyers), not profit, not after Etsy fees.

Hope someone could help. My Etsy store is registered as a business, I have added business details including VAT number. I have also added national insurance number under additions taxpayer ID. Its been some time and yet there is a red blob next to finances section. Do I need to add anything else like UTR?

It should tell you what is missing?  Those sections in the finance section have a green verified when they are sorted . Also your dashboard homepage should in theory give an indication as to what you need to do.  

 

Otherwise I may be a case of raising a help request  (I wouldn;t try live chat as they cannot assist with the various tax / vat / finance regs)

@KhanomGifts 

Have you added your personal national insurance number to Additional Taxpayer ID? Why?

The additional taxpayer ID is for the legal entity responsible for paying taxes on the shop's business profits. That would be the registered company, not you. The company should have its own UTR.

@SHEREMINTERIORS 

You have set your account up as a business, with a business name of SHERE M INTERIORS - so etsy is looking for something to do with that business

you have not set up as a sole trader - seller type - individual or sole proprietorship

Thank you for your reply , I have sorted it out . Etsy should remove all their customer support as they have never been able to answer any question in all ten years but once. I followed all you and others answers to my problem and finally sorted the problem. They can not charge 25 percent of sales and provide incompinant customer services whom are repeating from their him sheat . Kindest regards, Shere
