  • VAT for supply of services

    Hello, I am launching an online resale marketplace where users can buy and sell second-hand/pre-owned goods through an app. Our platform facilitates transactions with a service fee, which is subject to a 20% VAT rate. We do not sell any second hand goods, this is solely done by users of our platform. I need clarification on whether VAT needs to be applied to the resale price of items set by sellers of the pre-owned goods. Specifically, are sellers required to pay and collect VAT on items they purchased in the past, which already included VAT? Additionally, does VAT apply to the sale of personal items? In conclusion, will our company only be required to apply VAT on the commision (service fee) for the service we provide? Thank you.
