Write so:
If the product is 150:
150 x 15% = 22,5 then 22,5 X 20% = 4,5
150 - 22,5 - 4,5 = 123 this should be the value right?
But they did:
150 - (300 x 15% X 20%)
so
300 x 15% x 20%
300 x 15% = 45 then 45 x 20% = 9
so
150 - 45 - 9 = 96
They just started from 300 instead of 150.... is that it?
Wtf? :blink: :lol:

Inital agreed sale amount was £150.
"Sales through our website are subject to a 15% commission. ****’s commission for this sale is 45 GBP, the VAT (20%) amounts to 9 GBP and you have earned 96 GBP."
Easy.....
150 - 96 = £54
54 - 9 = £45

And if it still doesn't work for you:
