Social Network Membership Subscription
Legal Issue:
We manage an Internet Social Network service for a company
in Belgrade, (Serbia). The service is a Social Network where we charge an annual
membership fee to a user to use the social network. The strict definition of the
payment is a "Membership Subscription" to the social network and could be a
monthly or yearly subscription. No physical goods are supplied, this is an
entirely electronic service. The raw Social Network in turn is a service that we
contract from a supplier in the UK and their service is hosted on servers in the
UK. We have customised this network and own it in terms of content and
membership and pay the UK company for the monthly hosting of it. We would like
to know if there are any VAT considerations that we are accountable for in terms
of the "Subscription Membership Fee" we charge in relation to UK VAT or European
VAT laws? Kind Regards
