| Prices
My charges depend
on the text to be translated - I will
provide you with a quote. The great majority
of translations are priced at the standard
rate although extra charges may be applied
for urgency, technicality, poor legibility
and formatting. The hourly rate is charged
in some circumstances when the standard
rate is not appropriate.

Value-Added Tax is
applicable to all translations for the
UK at the rate of 17.5%. This tax also
applies to translations for European
Union clients, unless you are registered
for VAT, in which case VAT will be zero-rated
on quoting your VAT registration number.
VAT does not apply to clients outside
the EU.
Terms of payment
My terms of payment
depend on whether you are a corporate
client or an individual.
I ask corporate clients
to prove their company status and I
may ask for credit references. Corporate
clients are required to pay my invoice
within 30 days of receipt.
For individuals, my
policy is payment in advance and I only
start work on a translation when payment
has been received in full.
Methods
of payment
Corporate
clients
Bank transfer, credit
card, debit card, PayPal or a cheque
made out in GB pounds. Contact me for
details.
Individuals
PayPal
Once we have discussed
your translation requirements, I will
quote you a price and send you a PayPal
invoice by e-mail.
Follow the instructions in the e-mail
to pay. Once the funds have cleared
in my account I will start work and
deliver the translation by the agreed
date.
For more information
see paypal.co.uk
Credit and Debit
Cards
I can also accept credit
and debit card payments. Once your requirements
have been finalised and a price quoted,
I will send you a PayPal invoice by
e-mail. Click the link in the e-mail
- you will be taken to the PayPal secure
payment site and given the option to
pay by credit or debit card.
Cheque
This option is available
for cheques made out in GB pounds. This
payment method is only viable for non-urgent
work as the funds have to clear in my
account before I start your translation.
