Rules and Legal Considerations
Organisers should check any rules or permissions that may apply to their event. Requirements can vary depending on the location, frequency and nature of the sale, so contact the relevant local council if you are unsure.
If you regularly sell goods for profit or receive additional income, you may also wish to review the GOV.UK guidance on additional income and tax.
