intermediation Explanation: Your variant and your own explanation seem to up to the point. The source texts IS about intermediation of transport services. Very common in many industries: travel, real estate, private finance (mortgages and loans). This piece seems to describe how VAT on this kind of intermediation is regulated/calculated in relation whether the transport service itself is delivered within the country or not. |

sub-contracting Explanation: Hello Not sure on this but you act as a mediator in the sense that you take on a job and then pass it on (or part of it) to others, you are sub-contracting it. Some of the other answerers seem to want to say this but perhaps have not used the right term (mediate) |
