Hello, 

 

As per the new marketplace rules in North America, marketplace owners must charge tax on the commission because commission acts as an income for marketplace owners. eBay, Amazon, Etsy have alll started charging tax on the commission depending on which province you are in. 

 

Is there any such feature in Multivendor?

The tax will then be withheld from the Vendor's commission and paid by the Merchant when the Merchant has NEXUS in that state.  If not, it will be free money to the Merchant.  How is the vendor going to report their taxable revenue to their state when the tax has already been withheld by the Merchant?

 

Seems like a law written for the big players.  Again the small players will get screwed.

The law I am referring to is for the tax that we as marketplace owners have to charge because commission acts as our income and just like any good and services sold has to be charged tax in Canada, we have to charge tax on the commission as it's considered as a "service" for offering a marketplace to the sellers.

Then you will have to do custom calculation for the commission to deduct the tax on the commission from the vendor's payout.

You can try to report this as a defect to cs-cart and you can try to find a developer that will do the work for you.  The raw calculation is not difficult, but presenting the detail to the vendor so they can see it is cumbersome.
