Taxes
Commencing with bookings made on and after the date set forth at the top of the first page Getmyboat will commence in some jurisdictions to charge and collect from the User all applicable state, local taxes or other taxes, including VAT, that Getmyboat is required by law to collect which may not include all applicable taxes on the rental amount and other charges made to the User through Getmyboat. The collection approach will be implemented over time and not it will not be implemented in every jurisdiction on the date noted. Getmyboat will notify Members in affected jurisdictions on the date it will commence charging and collecting in the jurisdiction that includes the Member's zip code. Pursuant to this agreement when Getmyboat commences collection of such taxes, you instruct and authorize Getmyboat to collect such taxes on your behalf, and to remit such taxes to the relevant authority. Any taxes that are collected and remitted by Getmyboat will be are identified to Members on their transaction records, as applicable. Getmyboat may charge and collect additional amounts from Members (including by deducting such amounts from future payouts) in the event that the taxes collected and/or remitted are insufficient to fully discharge such Member's or Getmyboat's tax obligations. You acknowledge and agree that we retain the right, with prior notice to affected Members, to cease the collection and remittance of taxes in any jurisdiction for any reason.
We hereby certify to the Member that we will collect only such amounts that to our knowledge Getmyboat is legally required to collect based on the information known to us, and we will remit such collected amount to the applicable taxing authority, which may not include all other taxes or sums the Member is required to collect and remit. The Member is not to collect any taxes from the Renter that Getmyboat collects and, unless otherwise required in the jurisdiction that includes the Member's zip code, should not report them on any sales and use tax or other tax return for such jurisdiction such Member otherwise files for other taxes collected or remitted on a return for the Member's other taxable activities in the jurisdiction where Getmyboat collects and remits such taxes. Members should collect and remit all applicable taxes that are not collected by Getmyboat. Getmyboat will make the determination of the applicable amount to be charged based on the zip code of the Member on file with Getmyboat unless and until the Member advises Getmyboat in writing of a change in the location of where the boat will be delivered to a User. The failure of the Member to immediately and timely notify Getmyboat of the actual or planned delivery of possession of the boat to a User in a location other than the Member's zip code will result in the Member being liable and obligated to pay or reimburse Getmyboat for any excess taxes, penalties or interest that is or will be due on such excess taxes.
In certain jurisdictions, the law or regulations may require that we that report information about you, or withhold taxes or other amounts from payouts to you, or both. If you fail to provide us with documentation that we determine to be sufficient to support any such obligation to withhold from payouts to you, we may withhold payouts up to the amount as required by law or as we are directed by an applicable governing authority, until sufficient documentation is provided. You agree that Getmyboat may issue on your behalf invoices or similar documentation to facilitate accurate tax reporting associated with a booking.
