Hello, By definition, a collector buys a lot and often resells. I keep hearing a lot about the €5,000 limit for collectibles, as some kind of exemption threshold, but the tax definition of a collectible is much more restrictive than that of ordinary people. In the case where the collector would be “reclassified” as BIC for buying/reselling purposes, it is fairly rare for them to have all the documents needed to prove the number of years held. In short, there is a certain amount of tax uncertainty. In the annual tax report, the platform sends the sales data if the limits { 20 operations/ 3000€} are exceeded, but it doesn’t seem to me that purchases are included. Do you know if, in the case where the amount of purchases on the platform were greater than or equal to sales, that would exempt them from reporting/taxation?
