    VAT on Amazon Transactions (even better if the reply is from a Sage expert!)

    Thanks for all your replies. I love that the business community comes together and helps each other out. :) I've just noticed that this post was originally posted quite a while back when I was a sole trader on the flat rate scheme. I am now a Limited company on the standard VAT scheme. Either...

    VAT on Amazon Transactions (even better if the reply is from a Sage expert!)

    Thanks for this detailed information. That's NOT good news for me, as I now have to make an adjustment which is going to cost me a small fortune. Glad I know though as it's important I do it right. I'll never take advice from a forum ever again in my life after this incident. :(

    Estate Agent Won't Refund Admin Fee When We Didn't back Out

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to ask for a copy of all paperwork before I do anything (I don't think there was anything saying it's non-refundable - but I'll double check)

    Estate Agent Won't Refund Admin Fee When We Didn't back Out

    Exactly! I'm hoping that when I review them ALL OVER Google, they'll lose some customers! :D

    Estate Agent Won't Refund Admin Fee When We Didn't back Out

    Oh no, that sounds like a stressful (and very frustrating day). Many Estate agents have alot to answer for don't they! The £180 is not a bond (my mother paid a month's rent as the bond which was refunded) - the £180 is actually an "admin fee" the Estate agent took. Apparently they are allowed...

    Estate Agent Won't Refund Admin Fee When We Didn't back Out

    When I called them, I asked to speak to the manager, but they said she wasn't there. I ask them to get her to ring me back, and they said she will only ring my mother (fair enough, but I think she's been through enough stress). So if they do not call her back today (which they won't as they were...

    Estate Agent Won't Refund Admin Fee When We Didn't back Out

    Hi there To (try and) cut a long story short; A house my mother was going to let has fallen through. The Estate agent turned around and said the landlord wants her to move in sooner than the AGREED date (1st of July). I also have another witness to who also was told the 1st of July was OK...

    Sign on the Company Premises

    Hi there As a Limited company a sign is required on the premises Please can you confirm if I can have this at the back door (as I don't exactly want to advertise to potential burglars!) And what is needed is it just "X Limited" and the Company registration number, or anything else...

    Becoming Limited - Having a sign on the premises

    Hi there Does anyone know the legal requirement in terms of having a sign on your premises? Is there a minimum size limit? What is the minimum information it can state? Can I put it beside the back door? (as the registered office is my home address so I do not really want it by my front...

    VAT already deducted from Amazon fees - how do I show this on Sage

    :) Hmmm, there's a few returns where I've not used "T8". I realise to do it from now on, but do you think I need to let them know, or is it not really a big deal (as the VAT due is not affected...)? I'm guessing that it's more a statistical issue - and that I should just make sure I use T8...

    VAT already deducted from Amazon fees - how do I show this on Sage

    Thank you very much, that's really helpful. I did not understand the last paragraph.... or if it applies to me? I am on the standard VAT rate (not the flat rate) - so does that mean the 44p VAT will be deducted and reclaimed on my VAT return (hence I effectively do not pay the 44p?)

    VAT already deducted from Amazon fees - how do I show this on Sage

    Hi all! My query is: Amazon (and eBay I believe) are based in Luxembourg. Therefore, because I am UK VAT registered - and have given them my VAT number - they deduct VAT from their fees. So, if I sell an item for £10, Amazon would usually take 28.75% commission/referal fee, however...

    Sage Posting Debate - Who's right?!

    I couldn't agree with your more. It took me about 5 years to understand that a credit is a payment and a debit is a receipt! My idiot guide (which made me understand it) is: 1) You write a cheque with your right hand (credit) and 2) You take the cheque with your left hand (debit)" You...
