So, will this include Facebook? Because, if the devil casts his net there what a catch he’d bring. Seriously, I thought they already had these powers and a little bird told me the auction house report suspicions of money laundering?

I very much doubt that HMRC are now going to start chasing Facebook  ‘ ne’er do wells ‘ or anyone else without assets or funds.

It's actually disgraceful how many businesses are classed as private to get round the draconian one way ebay has become

Shame but I suppose you can't blame them the sellers 

The new deal is Facebook marketplace but boy how are hmrc going to keep up on there

My understanding is that selling platforms are now being forced to report back once a cash/sales limit is reached. The bots do the heavy lifting in all this.

If it wasn’t for the severity of CRA 15 discouraging bona fide dealers from retailing decent cheapies ( and paying VAT on them ) ,there might not be a black market in them.Out of interest,it appears that the ex Lib Dem MP Jo Swinson aswell as being the author of CRA 15 was also a Post Office minister in the Coalition Government allegedly encouraging the fake prosecution of sub postmasters ……..and we are regarded as being dodgy ?
