# Referral Program Payouts

Learn how and when you'll receive your referral commissions, including payment methods and schedules.

## Payout Information

### Payment Schedule

Referral commissions are processed and paid out on a monthly basis. All commissions earned during a calendar month will be paid out by the 15th of the following month.

#### Example Timeline:

- **January 1-31:** You earn commissions from referrals
- **February 1-5:** Commissions are calculated and finalized
- **By February 15:** Payment is sent to your chosen payment method

Note: There may be a delay in payment processing for first-time payouts due to verification requirements.

## Tax Information

As a referral partner, you're responsible for reporting and paying taxes on your referral income according to your local tax laws. Here's what you need to know about taxes and referral earnings:

### Tax Forms

Depending on your country and the amount you earn, MangoForm may be required to issue tax forms (such as 1099-MISC for US residents). If your earnings exceed the reporting threshold (typically $600 per year in the US), you'll need to provide your tax information through the dashboard.

### VAT/GST

If you're registered for VAT/GST and are providing referral services from a VAT/GST-registered business, you may need to provide your VAT/GST registration number. This information can be added in the "Tax Information" section of your referral settings.

### Tax Responsibility

Please note that MangoForm cannot provide tax advice. We recommend consulting with a tax professional to understand your specific tax obligations related to referral income in your jurisdiction.
