When selling tickets through Skiddle, we act as an agent on your behalf.
This means the ticket sale itself is treated as a direct sale between you and the customer, with Skiddle assisting with the transaction. Skiddle provides the booking service separately.
The face value of your tickets should therefore be accounted for by you, including declaring and paying any relevant VAT if you are VAT registered.
❓ Do I Need to Be VAT Registered to Sell Tickets?
No.
Anyone can sell tickets through Skiddle, regardless of whether they are VAT registered.
💷 Should I Be VAT Registered?
You will need to check your circumstances with HMRC or your accountant to determine whether you need to register for VAT.

📝 Do I Need to Tell Skiddle My VAT Registration Status?
Yes.
You must keep your details up to date on Skiddle, including:
🏢 Company name

🔢 VAT number, if applicable
Keeping these details accurate is important as incorrect information could result in paperwork being issued incorrectly, which may lead to issues with HMRC.
Skiddle reserves the right to suspend your account and withhold payments if we have reason to believe incorrect information has been provided.
