Ask a tax advisor on the topic of

commission for brokering

February 29, 2012 | 20,00 EUR | answered by Michael Herrmann

Hello and good evening,

To calculate an offer, I need the following information: Are the commission fees from sales platforms usually inclusive of VAT?

I want to offer my event on the platform mydays and cannot continue to calculate.

Thank you very much!
Warm regards,
Cathrin Jahnke

Dear questioner,

First of all, thank you very much for your inquiry, which I would like to answer based on the information provided and considering your efforts within the scope of an initial consultation. The response is based on the facts presented. Missing or incorrect information regarding the actual circumstances can affect the legal outcome.

The commissions charged by mydays for the services are subject to sales tax. A brokerage transaction within the meaning of sales tax law is not present.

How the net commission is calculated in relation to the net or gross sales prices should be clarified in a consultation with the provider, as this concerns the specific contract terms.

I hope that these details have provided you with a sufficient overview of the situation within the scope of your efforts and this initial consultation, and remain

Yours sincerely,
