It's Free To List Your Place!
There are no signup fees when you list your place with SafariNow; we only take a percentage referral fee from each booking you make with us. So if you don't make money, neither do we.
SafariNow works on a sliding scale commission model, meaning that, if your booking value meets a certain threshold, we will charge a lower commission percentage for that particular booking. Here is how our sliding scale commission model works:
- Bookings with a value below R10,000: 15% commission (VAT excl.).
- Bookings with a value between R10,000 and R15,000: 12.5% commission (VAT excl.).
- Bookings with a value above R15,000: 10% commission (VAT excl.).
VAT registered v non-VAT registered
In the case where an establishment is VAT registered, the commission already includes VAT. This means that SafariNow will calculate commission excluding VAT on the exclusive total of the quote.
Example:
Establishment quotes Guest R10,000.
| 1. We calculate the quote value exclusive of VAT (i.e. we remove the VAT amount from the quote value: | R10,000 x 100/155 | = | R8,695.65 |
| 2. We calculate the commission on the VAT exclusive quote value amount: | R8,695.65 x 12.5% | = | R1,086.96 |
| 3. We calculate the commission inclusive of VAT: | R1,086.96 x 1.15 | = | R1,250.00 |
Therefore, SafariNow will deduct R1,250.00 from the guest's deposit before on-paying the establishment.
~~~
Where an establishment is not VAT registered and/or located outside of the Republic of South Africa, VAT is calculated in addition to the 15% commission. This means that SafariNow will calculate commission on the whole quote value.
Example:
Establishment quotes Guest R10,000.
| 1. We calculate the commission on the total quote value amount: | R10,000 x 12.5% | = | R1,250.00 |
| 2. We calculate the commission inclusive of VAT: | R1,250 x 1.15 | = | R1,437.50 |
Therefore, SafariNow will deduct R1,437.50 from the guest's deposit before on-paying the establishment.
