[Everything doTERRA] Re: Preferred Member - queries

I've looked at the figures again, and I really can't see much benefit
in having an IPC set up their spa under them as a PM, unless the spa
is ordering a significant amount of products. The average small/medium
spa doesn't appear to benefit much at all in this way.

The problem I see is there being a separation of Spa Owner and Spa.
The Spa is the business, the Spa ownder is an individual. I'm
concerned that in practice, the Spa owner will be receiving additional
income that is separate to their business, and will in effect be
considered 'self employment'. This is on the basis that the Spa owner
(IPC) is expected to place a seperate order of 100PV in their own
name. Also, the 'rebate' that they receive may be deemed to be
personal income (self employed).

In the UK, that would create a huge disadvantage as when it comes to
VAT (tax added onto retail products), the Spa (business) will be able
to claim back the VAT. The business owner however would not be able to
claim back the VAT if they are indeed an individual, and their income/
expenses are separate to their Spa business.

If that is the case, there is an awful lot more hassle involved too...
which would make it burdensome, and in effect, easier just to have the
IPC as the Spa, and order everything at wholesale price - without any
PM below it.

Does anyone know how it works in practice? Is there indeed a
separation between the IPC (individual) and PM (business) in terms of
income/expenses.. ?? (or is the IPC able to order through their
business, as an IPC, and then order through their business as a
PM?).

Seems complicated to me, and I'm just hoping it's not.

Thanks
