I was thinking about getting back on to AW, and am so confused by all of this... Sounds like it's likely to be a huge farce... So can I not get paid if I don't sort out whatever this VAT thing is?

I'm planning on joining dailypay, if that makes a difference.

Pretty sure you don't have to do anything extra if you're on dailypay as they sort it all on their end, ie. you will still be charged the standard 30% admin fee and the dailypay fee, but not the VAT on admin fee. Your services will have VAT added to them, though, so will appear 20% higher (or whatever VAT is where you're accessing from) than what you enter as your rates. You will also have to pay VAT on featuring, positioning, etc.

Yes dailypay are sorting for all of us members, you won't need to do anything extra. If you're not with dailypay you'll be charged VAT on top of your admin fee unless you provide them with your proof of business/tax returns. See the last couple of pages x

I did message them but havent heard anything back yet. Think I might just rejoin DP as I really dont thuink what AW are asking for is any of their business x

Classy_Katy
10-21-2015, 07:57 AM
Yes, I read all that. I am not giving them my income details, it's none of their business. Even so, as I file a paper return, there isn't any proof of my profit/loss, just a profit figure on my tax calculation letter. And the NI demands etc will give them my national insurance number - that's another no thanks.

They haven't asked for you NI number, so cover that up on your NI letter for evidence of trading. Then use your tax return just for the UTR evidence, just showing your name, address and UTR.

Yess! Now averaging £7-10 my cut per hour This is a good start!
AW's percentage payout is so much better than SM's, might as well just use AW now!
Also it's so much better to have free chat off for me, because I like masturbating in between shows, and don't have to turn it off like I would with SM :'D

I listens 2 u an i thanks u 4 ur help!! last week i submit my credit 4 payout an they keep 20% of there 35% admin fee an the ways i understand the law they can do that cuz they automate the fee in eu,,,now at bottom of all my page they say no vat cuz i phil,,,but i cant c this week cuz i dun make enuf 2 cash out:(

Whut u say in msg bout me not lisening is unright,,,aw is my unli incom i try others sites an theys no good 2 me,,,f4f only 18% u joking me??? my 1st 2 yrs aw i doing 1k credit a week,,,i been on aw 3 year now,,,this week i dun 60 credit wurking same hour as alwuz,,,i jus sayin better way 2 make money than this,,,i can make more in bar or recycle than 60 credit,,,so thankie 4 ur help i jus sayin why wase times aw an vat??? aw dun care ifs i gots 5 minor an a jungle jim an they all vomits,,,hows i compete with that 4 same bili???

I can't say right now about my own personal credits as I haven't streamed on AW since October 1, but if they charge you VAT, just email them as other girls have done - and have been offered a refund. Regarding your poor performance on AW - I feel your pain. I've worked on a number of sites in the past that have gone to shit. The way I make bank these days is streaming to 5 at once. It seems a bit daunting at the start, but you slowly add one site, then another, and eventually it becomes quite easy, and certainly less boring than working on just one.

Does 1 adultwork credit equal 1 euro or 1 pound?

What is AW like during the evening? I have read how unpredictable it can be, but I'm free during anyway so I'd rather be making something some days than nothing at all. I do MFC at night (9pm to 2am) so I was going to try AW between 5pm and 8pm. Does anyone know what would be a good rate to start on? I was thinking 1.80 for group and 3.00 for private, but I'm worried that might be a wee bit too much? I'm not experienced with fetishes at all being new to the cam game, but I have been doing my research. What are some of the things that I should expect to be asked to do? What do you models get asked to do there the most? I obviously wouldn't do anything I wasn't comfy with its just so I know what to prepare myself for because I have heard it can be quite hardcore? Thanks ladies.

dont go any lower than 3 for pvt, group is up to you and depends on what you offer, some girls just chat in group some girls do a full cum show but without the personal interaction, some dont offer group at all

Too much?!

I would be offended if I had to cam on AW for less than 2.5 credits a minute. I charge 3 credits for group and 4.5 for private and don't have any problems with traffic.

Of course there are days where it's more quiet than other days, but that has got nothing to do with the prices I am charging.

theharlot
10-22-2015, 01:23 PM
Lovely... Do you charge that after the new VAT or before? Do you mind if I ask how long you've been on AW, too? Was considering a price hike soon but VAT scared me off a little.

That is before VAT.

I didn't change my prices with the VAT (bas. I did add an offer, 30 minutes group chat for 3 credits a min incl. VAT. Or 30 minutes pvt for 4.5 incl VAT.
If they buy 30 mins in advance then I'm willing to drop the VAT. Same for my Skype bookings.
Had quite some guys take me up on it, so it's been pretty good.

I;ve been on AW for about 4 years now, but charged quite high from the start.
I love AW, it changed my work attitude. Instead of "I have to sit here and be "switched on" until I make my goal, I went from fuck everything I'm just going to dress cute, do my hair and make up and just Netflix, do housework, watch tv etc and if someone wants to enter my chatroom, great. If not, I had an amazing fucking day. It's a lot more relaxing and am actually making a lot more this way because I'm able to stay online a lot longer.

That's actually been my exact approach to AW since I turned off free chat last year. Although my busiest hour is spent holding my laptop because I know I'll be prompted frequently. I also LOVE AW.

Has anyone heard any update from AW about webcam models and vat? i have emailed them several links to HMRC website and info about why we are not eligible for vat anyway and they just say they will pass it on. I have had my details accepted but i am very uncomfortable with them having so much sensitive info about me which legally it seems they dont need. Cyber attacks are rife these days, Talktalk were hacked today and if AW were hacked it doesnt bear thinking about.

I posted this earlier...I think it is the guys reducing the price on skype - AW confirmed that we are not charged VAT on our skype shows and also said "It really is quite complicated because with webcam bookings the customer and provider can negotiate. So he enters 10 credits and we remove VAT from that = 8.33 to the provider. She accepts but ups the price to 10 credits, he now has to confirm at 12 credits."


Someone must get charged VAT on our Skype shows as I have mine at 5 credits/min which shows as 6 credits/min!

This is obviously 20% more.

VAT does appear to be charged on our interactive webinars, in contravention of HMRC guidelines.

What a fucking mess.

Yes. The customers are charged it but it seems they are changing the price more than usual since the VAT increase.

This past week, I have seen a NOTICEABLE decline in the amount of traffic I get. I sat on DirectCam for 4hrs on Friday night (which would usually be reasonably steady) and made 10 credits. I'm hoping it was just a fluke and this isn't what I should expect for the future. I actually had a guy who once spent 400 credits on me one night in DirectCam write to me and say he was leaving AW because he couldn't get his credit card to work and didn't see the point. Not sure if that's to do with AW or his cc company, but not good losing customers like that. Thank FUCK for NiteFlirt as that has been good for me this month. I've signed up to SkyPrivate (no luck so far, only one guy who wasted my time), but I'll persevere. It's hard to feel motivated to go on cam when you sit there freezing for hours and earn less than minimum wage, but then if I don't cam, I feel like I'm being lazy and wonder if it could have been a busy night had I bothered. Argh....wish they'd sort the fucking VAT issue FFS!

Oooh just noticed this on the Current Status page:

Effective Monday 26 October at 15:30 UK

The charging of VAT on in-site display features, such as Featuring, Available Today and DirectCam Positioning is now effected in the same way as VAT on the Admin Fee.

Any member who has proven that they are a business (via this page) can account for the VAT element of these charges under the Reverse Charge Provisions, so the Site does not need to include it.

Any member who has paid VAT through subscription or participation in one of the affected schemes since October 1 2015, will be refunded the VAT element on Tuesday 27 October.

Thank you for your support and patience whilst our legal people work through the complications and ambiguity that is EU VAT.

I just transferred my earnings but no sign in the calculation of a refund on the VAT I've paid on featuring and positioning...will see if it comes through with the payment.

Random question but I just updated my profile pictures, and I noticed it doesn't seem to say anywhere that they have to be unique to the site anymore. I swear it said that before. I looked everywhere and in the Help and FAQ and it doesn't seem to stipulate this anymore. So are we allowed to use pics that may be on other sites now? I really hope so because I just had some amazing new photos done but they are on my Twitter and probably the photographer's site also... all my best pics are elsewhere as I like to show them off!

Ugh, so literally EVERY TIME i make a transfer request, i have to go through the process of sending emails back and forth to AW constantly to try and get them to correct the 'Performing this transfer would result in you having a negative balance. This is because you have spent some, or all, of the credits you have earned' issue.

I am literally attempting to withdraw the EXACT amount in my account, after all the facility fees and admin fees are already deducted. Every time i request a transfer this happens, and i have to keep emailing AW over and over again until they 'correct' it. Unchecking boxes makes no difference - not that i should have to, seeing as this money is my money. I really really hate this site.

Do you use direct cam positioning? Then not all the money is your money because you have payed for the positioning. Read the info section on the "transfer credits" page, towards the end there is a link to click "if you want to balance your credits click here" type of thing, when you click it balances it out automatically so that you are left with a positive balance. However, sometimes it fails if it cannot find the exact amount to "untick".

That said, I think they have changed it now because when I go to transfer credits page I don't see any negative balance anymore even though I used positioning and feature.
