SOUND FAMILIAR?

Resale tax records are easiest to build at the point of sale — and hardest to reconstruct months later when reporting requires them

Purchase cost basis, platform fees, and shipping costs disappear if they’re not captured at the time of each transaction

The records needed to establish what a piece cost, what the sale netted, and what costs reduced the taxable gain are all most accessible at the moment of transaction — and sellers who defer documentation until reporting season often discover the records no longer exist or are incomplete.

Platform statements, payout records, and fee summaries vary by channel and period

Different platforms issue statements in different formats, retain records for different periods, and classify fees differently — and sellers who don’t download and organise these records at the point of each sale often find they’re working from incomplete data when they need a full picture.

The full cost of a resale is never just the commission — and every deductible cost needs a record

Shipping, insurance, authentication, cleaning, and storage costs all potentially affect the taxable position of a resale — and sellers who don’t capture receipts and records for each at the time of the sale often can’t support them when they matter most.

No documentation standard means every tax year starts the same reconstruction exercise

Without a structured record-keeping process alongside each sale, sellers spend significant time each year reconstructing what should have been captured as a matter of routine — and the effort grows in proportion to the number of sales in the portfolio.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Inside the checklist, 6 sections and 21 items to tick off

Set the Buying Role

Clarify whether the sale serves exit from daily rotation, archive release, or active resale before you close, so the cost basis, documentation requirements, and record format all serve the same defined exit purpose and are captured at the right level of detail from the start.

Inspect Visible Proof

Capture original purchase receipts, platform payout statements, cost records, and condition photography at the point of sale — so every element of the cost basis and net return is documented while the information is still readily available.

Check the Paper Trail

Download platform statements, save shipping and insurance receipts, and match cost records to each transaction before the platform’s record retention window closes and the information becomes harder or impossible to retrieve.

Price with Discipline

Calculate the full cost picture — platform commission, shipping, insurance, authentication, cleaning — and capture each element as a documented record alongside the sale, so the net exit figure is both accurate and fully supported by receipts when it needs to be.

Plan After Purchase

Update exit plan records with the complete documentation set — purchase cost, sale price, all costs, platform statements, photos, and care notes — and run an annual review so every piece in the collection has its documentation already assembled before reporting season arrives.

Use AI for Review

Use AI to organise transaction records, generate cost summaries across multiple sales, identify documentation gaps before reporting season, and create care and record-keeping reminders — so the documentation process runs alongside the resale activity rather than lagging behind it.
