VAT on transaction fee?

Hi all,

My brother and I are currently building a P2P product marketplace in Sharetribe Open Source, and we have configured Stripe Connect as our payment gateway.

We are wondering if we should see 25% of our transaction fee (2,5% out of 10%) as VAT, or can we add VAT to our fee in some way? For an example if a person sells an item for $100 our transaction fee will be $10 + $2,5 (VAT)?

Is it possible to add 25% VAT to the transaction fee in Stripe Connect?

We are very curious to know how other Sharetribe Product Marketplace users have tackled this!

Best regards
Joachim

Hi

We faced the same problem at some point. The best is yet to set your Stripe account properly to manage VAT and display in Sharetribe if transactions are All Taxes Includes or Without Taxes :slight_smile:

and that’s it :wink:

Hello Anthony and thank you for the response here also,

Can you specify for us where exactly in Stripe you can manage VAT?

We would be very grateful!

Best regards
Joachim

Hello all,
@anthony_plomion, thanks for this usefull information.
Do you know if it is possible to automatically create the invoice associated to the transaction fee?
And ideally how to send it as pdf to the seller ?
Thank you.

More generally, one question to the sharetribe team (@thomasmalbaux) : if I use the sharetribe hosting of my marketplace, would you assist on stripe + chargebee features (so as to have a full service) ? or would you assist with an additional cost ?

@guido Right now we don’t offer custom development or support, so you’d have to hire someone or have a team member to take care of it. Keep up the good work!

We have been facing the same consequences regarding the addition of VAT.However,
you can try out the following tax residency certificate uae .It should definitely help out.
