Please could anyone tell me if when selling your static caravan/lodge on a caravan park, the park owner is entitled to charge you VAT on top of the 15% commission fee.
How can they charge you VAT when the seller is not VAT registered?
I believe it's the same as an estate agent charging VAT on his commission. 15% commission on a sale sounds a lot to me as estate agents charge around 2% depending on the deal you manage to do with them.
Check the HMRC website. If you have a veranda, it's treated separately, not part of the carava - there's a recent tribunal report on that. Might be worth asking your local Citizens Advice Bureau as their opinion will carry more weight than anything we say here, unless a campsite owner on UKCS has direct experience.
"penge" specifically asks about VAT being charged on the commission the site owner is charging for selling the caravan.
VAT being charged on the commission is correct, providing the campsite is VAT registered of course!
VAT on the caravan price itself is a completely different matter but not related to the commission. You as the seller wouldn't charge VAT as you are not VAT registered.
I would liken it to say me using Auto Trader to sell my car, they take VAT on what they charge me (ie the "commission") to place the advert, but I don't charge vat on the car itself.
