    VAT on commission (again)

    So if I get it correctly, both steps 4 and 6 are vatable? Just to clarify: John's agreement is X% from our net profit, so we don't deduct these £200 (step 4) from his money but ours, therefore does it still qualify as a service and is still vatable?

    Another quick question related to step 4. where we calculate our immediate expenses - is it ok (in terms of VAT rules) to calculate this value as flat rate (let's say 10% of the total income) instead of calculating the actual value of expenses.

    Selling on digital marketplaces - invoicing and VAT

    We do take care of the customer after sale (providing customer support with the product), but that's pretty much it. If customer wants a refund for example, they have to contact the marketplace directly and we cannot approve/refuse this request.
