Referral fees paid on gross and not on net. Why?
Good afternoon,
reviewing the sales reports, i have just found out that referral fees are charged on final price paid by customer, including VAT.
Why is that?
VAT is a country tax. we do not make any profit on taxes.
What’s the sense in that?
Regards,
Fab V.

Also not all sellers are VAT registered. Amazon couldn’t realy be expected to be levying different fees to the two classes of seller.

They charge fees based on the turnover of the sale. Since it is a service fee for the transaction it makes sense to do it this way.
That being said it is a little disingenuous to claim the fees are only 15% for example when i reality they are more like 18% (either 15% of the VAT inclusive price or 15% of a non-VAT price + VAT)
