Understanding AirJIT's Fee and Sales Tax/VAT

How fees and taxes affect your earnings on AirJIT

Overview of AirJIT's Fee Structure​

AirJIT charges a 10% fee on the total earnings of travelers, which includes the base carrying fee, additional charges, and special care surcharges. This fee helps cover the operational costs of the platform, ensuring smooth transactions and support for both travelers and shippers.

Calculating the 10% Fee​

  1. Base Carrying Fee: The core payment for transporting parcels.
  2. Additional Charges: Reimbursed expenses such as customs duties and special packaging costs.
  3. Special Care Surcharge: An additional fee for handling fragile, valuable, or sensitive items.

Example Calculation:

  • Base Carrying Fee: $100
  • Additional Charges: $20
  • Special Care Surcharge: $10
  • Total Earnings: $130
  • AirJIT's 10% Fee: $130 x 0.10 = $13

Understanding Sales Tax/VAT​

Sales tax or Value Added Tax (VAT) is applied to AirJIT's fee based on the departure city's tax regulations. The tax rate varies depending on local laws and is added to the 10% fee charged by AirJIT.

Example Calculation:

  • AirJIT's Fee: $13
  • Sales Tax/VAT (e.g., 8%): $13 x 0.08 = $1.04
  • Total Fee with Sales Tax/VAT: $13 + $1.04 = $14.04

Impact on Your Earnings​

The total deductions from your earnings include AirJIT's 10% fee and the applicable sales tax/VAT. Understanding these deductions helps you manage your finances and set realistic expectations for your net earnings.

Example:

  • Total Earnings: $130
  • Total Fee with Sales Tax/VAT: $14.04
  • Net Earnings: $130 - $14.04 = $115.96
