Vat on commision

[MJG]

Hello.

I am due to work for a business that is VAT registered and sells to VAT registered businesses.
I will be earning a basic plus commission on sales.
Should the company pay my commission on the ex vat amount or the final invoice total that includes the VAT?

TIA

VAT shouldn't be considered part of the sale value. Your commission is based on the net amount.

Thank you. Please excuse my ignorance and just for the sake of clarity.
The commission is calculated on the EX VAT amount?

Thats how we do it. Maybe your prospective employer has other ideas. Your best bet is to read your employment contract carefully and speak with HR/Sales Manager if you are still unsure.
