VAT on Seller Fees

Due to a European Union directive that subjects electronically supplied services to value-added tax (VAT), BOOKS etc. is required to charge VAT on all seller fees charged on or after July 1, 2003. The VAT charged on these fees is at the standard UK VAT rate of 20%.

In general, VAT applies to all seller fees paid by sellers that reside, have a permanent address, or are established in one of the European Union countries.

VAT on the items you sell

Since Marketplace is not directly involved in the sale of merchandise between buyers and sellers, buyers and sellers are responsible for determining whether or not the price of the item sold (and the associated buyer delivery charge) is subject to VAT, customs duties, fees and other taxes and are responsible for paying such amounts as required under law.
