Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell Bizyness that I sell under the margin scheme?
Just enable the margin scheme on the relevant items; Bizyness then applies it automatically to every sale. You no longer have to decide case by case.
Can I sell under both standard VAT and the margin scheme?
Yes. Bizyness automatically tells the two schemes apart based on your items, charging VAT on the full price in one case and only on the margin in the other. Your returns stay accurate even with a mixed catalogue.
Do I have to enter the purchase price of each item?
Yes, because margin-scheme VAT is calculated on the difference between your selling price and your purchase price. You import your purchases from Shopify or Amazon, or enter them manually, and Bizyness works out the margin on its own.
Do my invoices show the right legal wording?
Yes. Invoices for margin-scheme sales automatically include the mandatory legal wording for the scheme, without detailing VAT you're not supposed to show. They stay compliant with no effort on your part.
Are margin-scheme VAT returns prepared automatically?
Yes. From your tracked purchases and sales, Bizyness prepares the margin-scheme VAT amounts to declare, ready to be filed by you or your accountant.
Does the margin scheme apply to all my products?
No: this scheme mainly concerns second-hand goods, works of art, collectors' items and antiques that are resold. In Bizyness, you enable it only on eligible items, while the rest stay under standard VAT.
Sell your second-hand items with the right margin-scheme VAT
Bizyness automatically calculates the margin-scheme VAT and issues compliant invoices for your second-hand or refurbished products.
