The following are some common questions/answers concerning Tax Management for Sellers. Should you have additional questions, please contact seller-support@ThingPark.com
As a seller, when do I receive my payments?
ThingPark Market is in charge to process all payments from buyer to seller. Process is as follows:
1. ThingPark receives order from the buyer
2. ThingPark awaits payment from the buyer and releases order to seller upon receipt
3. Seller ships merchandise / delivers service to the buyer and send confirmation to buyer
4. ThingPark pays the seller End of Month + 26 days
Every month on day 26, ThingPark processes all due transactions to seller, on a single payment. This payment amounts 85% of the full order value of the past month (including VAT & Shipping).

ThingPark commission is calculated on the total amount (total+tax+shipping) paid by the customer.
How is VAT managed?
For each new country where a seller is located, ThingPark will set the tax rules. If you are our first seller partner in a country we will be working closely with you to configure the tax rules.
VAT for EU seller
- We calculate VAT rules based on shipping origin provide by the seller and shipping destination provide by the buyer. If tax is applicable, we apply it to the shipping.
- Under EU VAT rules, ThingPark will calculate and collect EU VAT on Selling on ThingPark related to sales made by sellers on non-EU websites who do not have an EU VAT registration number and are a resident of an EU member state.
- Sales made to business sellers (i.e.: sellers with an EU VAT number) will not be subject to EU VAT collection. ThingPark will charge the standard rate of VAT applicable to your EU Member State of residence for any Selling on ThingPark.
