    Best Value Way to Accept Online Payments

    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...

    Best Value Way to Accept Online Payments

    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...

    How to charge VAT on the service I offer

    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.

    How to charge VAT on the service I offer

    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...

    How to charge VAT on the service I offer

    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...

    How to charge VAT on the service I offer

    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.

    How to charge VAT on the service I offer

    Thanks, I will do when I get one! Not far enough in the process to have one yet. Just to clarify; do you mean just to my % and not the total value?

    New design

    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...

    How to charge VAT on the service I offer

    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...

    Comparison Website - Legislation

    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
