Thanks you all for your responses.
Matt, You raise some valid points which I had considered. The issue of refunds is something I haven't worked around as of yet. However I'm particularly interested in either setting up payments to the supplier and then getting monthly commission or using the...
Hi,
I'm creating a comparison website (more of a quote gathering service) which will require customers to pay me, and then me to pay the suppliers. From which I will take a commission of say 5%.
Payment via standard debit cards, mastercard & visa.
Lets say sales are to be around £10,000 per...
I thought so, this is commission then as the customer pays the price quoted by the supplier and I will take a % of that.
Thanks again for both of your help.
Ah ok. I see now, I just charge VAT on my commission. That's what I thought the correct way was. So I take the supplier quote (excl VAT) add my % and then add VAT to the whole thing.
Thank you both for the clarification.
Could you clarify one more thing; how exactly do a commission and a...
Yes I am taking the whole payment and passing the suppliers sum (minus commission) onto them.
I assumed I would charge VAT, I just wanted to make sure I'd only be charging VAT on my commission and not the total value of the sale.
So lets say the supplier costs the item as £100 incl VAT. I then...
I will be, and I want to know how it will affect my business. If I have to charge VAT on the whole lot (including the value of the sale) then it's considerably more than just charging VAT on 5% of the value, and is likely to make the idea null and void.
Hi there!
I can give you advice on how to get your product developed (it's my business). Do you have a fully developed design (manufacturing drawings), if not you'll need a product designer to get your design in a fit state for production. Being a baby toy there are lots of rules and regs you...
Hello there,
I'm looking at creating a quote gathering site, that will take a % cut on each payment. Do I just charge VAT on the % cut I take?
I don't think it seems right that I would take the suppliers price (including VAT) and then add my %, and then VAT on the whole lot. Surely If I take...
Hi there,
I am looking at creating a comparison type website, more of a quote gathering site as it's not an auto quoting system (yet). does anyone know of legislation regarding this? I will be receiving payment through the site (either internally or via an external site)).
cheers,
Rory
Hi there!
I'm a design engineer who has a consultant business offering product design services. I started a few months ago, I haven't yet really publicised it though as I'm in the middle of a contract.
I also have an idea for a niche comparison type website which I'm currently seeking help...
