Value-added tax | UK Hosts

Resortifi collects value-added tax (VAT) on trips taken in all vehicles listed in the UK and on some damage claim payment types. Consult a tax professional with questions about eligibility for a tax refund.

About value-added tax (VAT)

We’re required to collect value-added tax (VAT) on Resortifi’s fee from hosts for trips taken in all vehicles listed in the United Kingdom. We’ll charge VAT for vehicles listed in the United Kingdom and booked by a guest from in or outside the UK.VAT is calculated at a standard 20% of the Resortifi fee (Resortifi’s take rate of the earnings).

Host earnings statement

VAT appears as a separate line item on your Trip receipt for each transaction. If you submit a reimbursement invoice for additional distance, tax applied to this payment amount will show as a separate line item on your receipt. To see VAT earnings deductions, refer to trip receipts, download the trip earnings CSV, or view the tax information page, currently updated annually. As of December 15, 2023, we’ll display host earnings as the amount earned by hosts, minus any VAT or sales tax collected for the trip. This update applies to all current and historic host earnings data. If your earnings amount appears lower than expected, it may be due to this adjustment to display post-tax earnings amounts.

VAT for repair payouts

Beginning February 15, 2023, if you have your vehicle repaired at a Resortifi-approved garage, we’ll pay the garage directly (gross of VAT). This list of approved garages is not exhaustive and is subject to change. We’ll apply your applicable host deductible. If you take the vehicle to a non-network garage or prefer to receive cash in lieu of repairs, we’ll pay you the net price (excluding VAT) minus your plan’s deductible. If you’re registered as a business, you may be able to claim the VAT back.

VAT refunds

Resortifi can’t provide advice on tax matters. Businesses could be eligible for certain VAT refunds; consult your tax professional for advice.
