I can't find where they are based (I think it's Dublin, Ireland) but the premise would remain the same I guess regarding apps? It seems like google aren't very helpful when it comes to defining how developers should account for VAT but thanks to numerous calls to HMRC and more importantly posts such as this, I think I have come to the same conclusion as all of you.

As flexicoder's original article explains well, there are two separate transactions here - Apple/customer (subject to VAT, but that's Apple's problem not yours - the VAT Apple charge means that the net price for your commission is less, as Sarah Steel says); and you/Apple. If you are based in the UK and Apple are based in Luxembourg, you should make a note of Apple's VAT number in case HMRC ask (as they did to flexicoder), but otherwise you just bank the money and don't put it on your VAT return anywhere - it is "outside the scope of UK VAT". Joint ventures are another matter altogether - yes, your joint venturer should invoice you plus VAT, but you can recover that VAT as input tax in your VAT return (even though you charged no output tax on the onward supply to Apple - it's OK). He should invoice you for whatever amount you have agreed between you that he is entitled to - if you are collecting the money from Apple, VAT treats a joint venture as a supply chain rather than a joint transaction. So Apple pay you £10 (outside scope), you have agreed with JV that after costs JV is entitled to £4, JV invoices you for £4 plus VAT. I must develop an app to do this...

The deal is to share the revenue between us. I will collect the payments for the app in my bank account and then give him his part of the deal. Should he invoicing me with VAT for his split of the revenue? or just for his percentage of the gains? Looking forward to your comments And one last question,

I've been reading on other forums that the split of revenue for apps in Europe is 60-40 as supposed to 30-70 in the US. I assume this is because the VAT? Should I not assume then that if Apple is paying VAT on my behalf I shouldn't have to pay again in the UK? Thanks for your feedback Hi,
