Do i need to register with ICO for data protection

[mickytruelove]

This is something new to me, I have been selling as a soletrader for the last year and recently started a ltd company.

When discussing things with my accountant (didnt have one as soletrader), she mentioned registering with ICO because i collect peoples names and addressed.

I sell on Ebay/amazon and its just name/address and order information. I understand its only £35 to register (notify) but is this just a made up fee?

I believe there is an online assessment that details whether or not you need to be registered with them, as far as I am aware if its just for invoicing purposes then you would not need to be compliant.

I hope this helps,

As above, check the website, you can go through their questions to see if you need to be registered or not.

I did as you said and the little questionaire says no. bonus!

Seemed alot of nonsense when my accountant mentioned it. Maybe its more applicable to her dealing with peoples tax affairs.

Might be worth getting an accountant more suited to what you're doing?
