Groupon VAT and Flat Rate

[davie_zone]

Hi Everyone

Ok so I deal a lot with Groupon.

There payment structure sucks.

They sell an item on your behalf then charge 50% commision fee + VAT

I receive whatever is left.

My question is would I be better off if I register for the flat rate VAT scheme.

There are some much longer threads on here describing Groupon structure probably better than I did .

Any information would be most welcome .

Thanks in advance

David
