INVOICING SYSTEM AND COMMISSIONS
20% commission is maintained and calculated on the charter price, excluding VAT at 22%.
In order to issue our invoices correctly, we need to know your invoicing system. Upon confirmation, please indicate one of the following points:
1) DO NOT ISSUE a commission invoice. In this case, you will receive our invoice for the NET charter price (gross amount minus any discount and the commission);
2) ISSUE a commission invoice. In this case, obviously, you will receive our invoice for the GROSS charter price to the Customer or to your Agency (please, specify by sending all the necessary data for the issuance).
If we do not receive any information about this, we will automatically adopt the Option 1).
