Does the new tax system apply to TIPS too?

[technocrysy]

Hello community,
So i just had a quick question that i wanted to ask / know…

As we all know on Nov 2020 fiverr changed their tax system on orders… Like on orders which are below $50, service tax would be $2 + 5% of the actual order amount and similarly on orders above $50 only 5% of the actual order amount would be taken as service tax…

So the question is does the same rule applies on tips too… like any TIP below $50 would cost +$2 + 5% of actual tip amount and similarly TIPS above $50 would cost +5% of actual tip amount which rarely happen… only if you have done something really good…

So does this new tax system applies on TIPS too…

THANKS

Yes, you’re correct. The service tax ($2 +5% of actual order amount) applies to tips in the same manner if applies to orders.

Thank you so much for your response… I got it

So I do respect Fiverr’s TOS and i have read a lot in this forum about the mixed reviews about the tipping system in Fiverr…

Like many do believe that the service fee should be removed from TIPS but on the other hand if this really gets removed than chances are that it will get exploited.

But don’t you think that this is a bit too harsh on the tipping system like Fiverr is taking the same amount of service fee as the order in case of TIPS too…

It’s just my opinion i am not saying to completely remove this service tax from tIPS but atleast this shouldn’t be done like taking the same amount of service fee as the same as orders…

What’s your opinion plzz do let me know…

Personally, I understand Fiverr has a business to run, and by functioning on this platform, I agree to how they run it. This isn’t the only freelancing platform out there, and Fiverr has been really good to me, so I’m not going to complain. Plus, because I do large orders most of the time, the fees aren’t an issue; the tax always seems like more on a $5 order than a $500 order, you know? I’m a V.I.D. and Lvl. 2 seller, and I don’t think I’ll be leaving anytime soon. Just my take on it, though. I know others feel differently. 😅
