Hi All,
I am Sub Agent who books Air , Bus tickets from IATA Authorize agents; I also Add service charge of INR 100.
My service charge not shown seprately when I sell the tickets to my customers.
Air Fare : 5000
Service: 300
Total: 5300.
I will bill to customer X pvt ltd company who is introduced by Mr B. ( X company provides requirement to Mr.B)
I will raise invoice to X compnay I receive a cheque for INR 5300; But I need to pay Mr. B INR 200 back to to my mediator(Mr.B) for each ticket I booked in the above scenario. ( My acutal profit would be 100; But when compare with IATA agent Invoice It would be INR 300).
Question: can I book this as my business expenses ( literaly If need to get the booking I must pay 200 INR extra)
Average in a month I book 50 tickets to X Company . and I am liable to pay Mr B INR 10000 per Month. Mr B is not my employee but works for me as business
Please advice. Mr.B is not accepting for cheque. I personally withdrew and pay his service charge or commission for
bringing the business to me.
Please advice. I just started my business . I need to bear these methods till I get direct contacts where I get regular bookings.
Thanks
