VAT on Commission on Suppliers Invoice
Permalink  

We are a Plumbing and Heating business. Letting agents send us their work and take a 10% commission on our invoice amount. 

Let's use a simple example.... Our invoice: £100 net + £20 vat = £120 gross

Should they:

a) calculate the amount owed to them on the gross invoice amount, then add vat on top of their commission invoice.

Agents commission invoice: £12 (10% of gross) + £2.40 (vat  on their invoice) = £14.40 total billed back to us.  Total percentage = 12%

or

b) calculate 10% at each stage?

Agents commission invoice: £10 (10% of net) + £2 (vat) = £12 total billed back to us.  Total percentage = 10%

 

In example A it seems that we end up paying VAT twice on this invoice. 

Thanks in advance for help clarifying this.

Hi Jo
This is a forum for professional bookkeepers and accountants, not for businesses Im afraid, so we cannot help you.

I would suggest that you have a word with your Accountant, ensuring that you provide that Accountant with a copy fo the contract between yourselves and the letting agents.

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.

You should check out answers with reference to the legal position

Ok thank you, I'm asking on behalf of my bookkeeper as they were unsure of the answer either.

All the best.
