Do be careful which group you join though!
yeah I came to say this, OF tried to argue it wasnt applicable and lost the case - thats why they have a huge VAT bill to pay now
other sites do this to, Im fairly sure SM for example add VAT to the costing? all the clipsites seem to as well, and I know from my vanilla business Patreon are as well
Yes it is 'Adultwork's Finest Performers'. Used to be that kinkydirtybitch ran one too that was good but she had to shut it due to gdpr. The rest exist purely to skim your credits.
This industry is a constant source of headache and hoops to jump through aside from the internet being increasingly awash with free porn. I won't be lowering my prices. I don't cam anyway, just phone and IM now. If anything, I'll be increasing them to cover the added fees. I'm trying to expand my skill set in an effort to move away from this industry. It used to be an easy way to make a lot of money, but a lot of people are barely making min wage now. Sorry if I sound like Debbie Downer, but it feels like we're constantly skating on a knife-edge here. I know so many people are struggling right now due to COVID, and we're all just doing what we need to do to pay bills, but fuck if I'll work twice as hard for half as much.
Yes it is alot harder nowdays for us than use to be the internet full of free porn and guys pinch your stuff put it out there but its the risk we taking in this line of work I suppose. Its just that brexit happened same as COVID & it makes it harder to increase at no wish of our own at this time but it will be ALL the site wont it so they will see it is us all. Hoping they pay but they must get a message too as members of the site to say 20% VAT added from nov 1st due to brexit etc.
It doesnt help all the TV programmes about how easy in the SW industry it is to get the money flowing in like just by flashing this & that not say you have to work at it build a rapport etc xx
So the new accounting of VAT charging buyers on their purchases, coupled with a charge on our admin fees brings our cut down to almost exactly 50% of gross.
Buyers have been charged VAT on Private Gallery and Movies for a few years now. It gets added to the price we ask, so we don't lose out there. This will be how it gets added to the camming etc prices.
Where we will see the difference will be when we buy a facilty fee (cam positioning etc) or on the admin fee when we cash out the credits. Someone else will be able to do the exact % calculation for us, I can never remember. It won't be 50% of gross though, I'm pretty sure. Somewhere between 36 and 40% I think.
I didn't notice a change when they added it to our cam prices before. Clips4sale have also recently added it to video and I haven't seen a difference.
Yeah I know its already been on movies and galleries, but looking at the email it looks like direct cam might have added VAT going forward (it is a bit ambiguous to be honest, it just says 'other activities on site that are considered to be business to consumer') so I just did a fag packet reccy, assuming that JCI fee is 5%, cam will now be 20% more expensive and our cash outs will also have a 20% fee added to a 30% admin charge. Works out that for every 1.20 that a customer spends on cam, we take home 60.8p
I know I know some goes straight to the tax man etc and it's not being hoarded by the site itself, but in the cold hard numbers, no matter who keeps what, 1.20 spent is 60 odd p in your pocket.
I just hope to God that whatever happens they contact the customers and explain, I cannot deal with trying to explain to the complainers...
It may very well be hoarded. The way they've worded it as 'other activities' gives them an excuse to levy it on whatever they want and say it's the law. It's possible they're waiting for more clarification on this by November 1st?
wow!? really? i am terrible at maths but what the hell! so say we make (for round figures) 200 credits a day
how much of that are we actually taking home!?
this is ridiculous! i am SO anxious about it!
has anyone actually spoke to their accountant about all this? or do we just wait and see what happens on 1st nov when we get more info :/
" Bingo – including remote games played on the internet, telephone, television or radio Exempt VAT Notice 701/29 "
I found this on HM Revenue & Custom's own web page - Last updated 2017.
I would have thought that - Phone sex, webcam/chat & some content sales would be classed as exempt the same way that remote games are. Interactive tip toys. pay-per-minute and all that.
If online sex & adult workers are to be subjected to VAT will this mean online gamers & gamblers will be too?
It just seems/feels wrong subjecting sex/adult workers to VAT.
Can someone help me please,as AW Is adding VAT,I am wanting to split cam and I am wanting to join more cam sites, I have now down loaded Manycams but i can not get it to communicate with JustCamIt, Manycams just has a grey grainy screen,Any help would be very much appreciated
Somewhat off topic but is anyone finding AW extremely quiet atm? I’m going several hours with no calls even though I’m featuring!
