Then they may not be a private seller any more — and your margin scheme wobbles with them.
Then caution is due. Someone who goes too far in scale and repetition can acquire the status of a taxable person themselves. The French ruling of 19 August 2026 says expressly that their sales must stay limited for them to remain a private individual. If you buy from someone who moves lots every week, do not simply assume they are private.
The risk sits with you, not with them. If it later turns out your supplier should have invoiced with VAT, your purchase was not a purchase from a private individual and your margin position is on shaky ground.

Your margin position is on shaky groundThe practical protection is the same as always: record per purchase from whom, when and for how much, and ask for a company number on a large or repeated lot. No number plus weekly lots is a combination worth thinking about.
Record per purchase
The purchase date, a description that identifies the piece, the price you paid, and the seller's details. In the Netherlands, from €500 the slip is a purchase declaration the seller signs; outside VAT, the opkopersregister asks for the seller's name and address. In France the livre de police asks for surname, first name and address, the type, number, date and issuer of the seller's identity document, plus the method of payment.
The Belgian FPS Finance looks first of all at what you do: did you buy the goods in order to resell them? Occasional and without organisation, that is miscellaneous income, taxed at 33 % after costs, in box XV codes 1200/2200. Repeated, frequent, with large amounts and organisation, it is professional income, box XVII codes 1600/2600. Since income year 2026 there is a safe threshold for private sales: up to € 972 gross a year it is always normal management (art. 90, 1° WIB92, law of 15 July 2026). For anyone who buys in to resell, that threshold does not apply.
