Quoted from GC...

Charging VAT on payments
Payments created in GoCardless are the full amount being charged to the customer. We do not add VAT on top of this. As such, if you do need to charge your customers VAT, you will need to incorporate this into the amount you create your payments for.

Please note that VAT applies to all GoCardless fees from 1 September 2020. Please refer to the VAT FAQs for more information.

ive stopped encouraging my customers using gc    now as they are taking too big a commission.     I have had to increase some prices to cover this.   .   when I first started a few years back it was ok.    They are getting like Virgin media.   seems to creep up .   D.D.  or Bacs  or Paypal, F&F

if you ve got 300-400 customers on gocardless they ve got you by the balls.......

I had nearly 1000.

Sacked them off.

This was always my worry with go cardless.

I've stopped pushing it since they put the fees up in January and I think now I will stop offering it at all.

Shame as it was a great idea but now not viable for non vat reg businesses.

Smart debit is cheaper. It takes me about an hour a week Vs no time whatsoever on gocardless and you need to know what =vlookup() means.

Hi Soupy.

Do you use the Bureau DD or managed DD?

Can it be integrated with aworka?

Thanks

Why suddenly start charging vat? You can’t tell me they have only just become vat registered???

There's no integration. There is an API available but you'd need to convince a developer to integrate it.

I have a bespoke package.

It's s change in legislation as far as I know.

[The Jester of Wibbly]

Stopped pushing GC as my first choice after the last increase in charges that picked on the small transactions.

Only now use it to move slow payers onto.

Wonder if Lee Pryor having a word with their CEO would sort this situation out 😂

[Suffolkcleaners]

Just read this post. So this means for sole traders like myself (Who are well below the VAT threshold)let’s say a £25 house and they will take £5.00 VAT plus there fees is that correct? So will end up with less than £20. I’m going to need to move them back to BACS payments. How annoying!!
