What a fantastic company and an absolute pleasure to deal with, I was a little sceptical at selling my tag to a company I found via a Google search, but ben quickly contacted me after my Initial enquiry and guided me all the way through the process and kept me Informed all the way through.
It couldn't have been a smoother sale, and was offered a very good price for my watch.
Payment also made Instantly upon them receiving it.
I couldn't be happier, and ben was an absolute star, can highly recommend the watch boutique

I had an excellent experience selling my Rolex watch. The process was smooth, transparent and professional from start to finish. Communication was clear, the valuation was fair and payment was prompt. I really appreciated the dealer’s knowledge and straightforward approach and it made the whole transaction easy and stress free. I wouldn’t hesitate to deal with him again and i highly recommend his services.

Amazing service from Ben. I was very sceptical and worried at first at the process of sending my expensive handbag off in the post. But after i read the many 5* reviews and the very reassuring calls with Ben, I trusted him and it definitely paid off. Quick, easy and hassle free service and I was very happy with the amount Ben offered and paid me. Thanks Ben and Team, I wish I had more bags to sell with you. 🏅

If you’re thinking, “Do I need to pay tax when I sell my watch?”, the answer depends on how much you sell it for, whether it was an investment, and where you live. In the UK, selling a luxury watch like a Rolex, Breitling, or Tag Heuer may be subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) if it meets certain conditions.

At Watch Boutique, we make selling your watch fast and hassle-free, but it’s important to understand if you need to report the sale to HMRC.


1. Do You Pay Tax When Selling a Watch in the UK?

In most cases, personal items such as watches are exempt from tax unless they meet specific thresholds. However, if you own high-value luxury timepieces as part of an investment, you may need to report the sale.

When Is Capital Gains Tax Applied?

When Is It Tax-Free?


2. How Much Tax Will You Pay on a Watch Sale?

CGT rates depend on your total taxable income:

Taxpayer TypeCGT Rate on Watches
Basic Rate Taxpayer10% on gains above allowance
Higher/Additional Rate Taxpayer20% on gains above allowance

For example, if you sell a Rolex for £10,000 but originally bought it for £4,000, your gain is £6,000. If this is your only taxable gain, you won’t pay CGT because it falls within the allowance.


3. How to Report the Sale to HMRC

If your sale exceeds the £6,000 threshold and results in a taxable gain, you must report it to HMRC by:

1️⃣ Filing a Self-Assessment Tax Return – Declare the gain under Capital Gains Tax.
2️⃣ Using HMRC’s Online CGT Service – Report and pay within 60 days if applicable.
3️⃣ Keeping Records – Retain receipts, purchase dates, and proof of valuation.

💡 Pro Tip: If you’re unsure, consult a tax specialist to confirm your obligations.


4. Should You Sell to a Dealer or Privately?

Selling to a trusted watch buyer like Watch Boutique can simplify the process:

Instant Payment – No waiting for auction results.
No Uncertainty – Get a fair valuation based on market trends.
Hassle-Free Transaction – No buyer disputes or hidden fees.
