Yes, sales commissions are considered taxable income by the IRS. Whether you're an employee receiving a commission as part of your salary or a self-employed individual earning commissions, you must report this income on your tax return. Additionally, depending on your overall income, commissions may be subject to federal, state, and local taxes. It's advisable to keep detailed records to ensure accurate reporting and compliance with tax regulations.

Sales Commission varies with volume of sales that's why it is a variable cost as much the sales as much the sales commission, high sales high sales commission and vice versa.

I'd say barely. People who are in charge of commissions, normally set them up to incentivize the whole selling game. They set the commission percentage, aside from the net profit most of the times. So, nothing's really getting affected on the owners side.
In my experience, many employers pay commission ONLY on new incoming business opportunities. Doesn't matter if it's catering or not, if it's a new deal that converted, then you'll get a commission depending on the fact that it was part of the agreement while you signed up for the job. General rule of thumb, not to be taken literally, is that you get 2% to 5% of total event revenue for each new catering booking that comes in through outbound cold calling. On that note, people use Trellus, Orum, Nooks, Balto or just the traditional smartphone for reaching out to prospects around in the local vicinity.

The above, while perhaps a possible definition of EBT, is inaccurate. The financial accounting (GAAP) which EBT is one heading for, has NOTHING to do with determing taxable income under Tax Accounting. The person is also confusing taxable sales with the term income. Net Taxable Sales is generally used in the context of Sales Tax. Gross sales = all possible receipts. Exempt sales = receipts that weren't sales taxed (because the item isn't taxable (say food), or the buyer was able to exempt it (as in purchases for resale). This is subtracted from Gross. Returns & Adjustments = adjustments, normally subrtractions, for return sales where tax was refunded. Brings you to net taxable sales = the amount of sales a tax was collected or is due on.
Sales commission is earned for selling a product of the company. If you have done all the hard work by yourself, you should not share the sales commission. However; if someone has helped you to achieve those sales, split the commission according to their input.
The typical commission rate for sales starts at about 5%, which usually applies to sales teams that have a generous base pay. The average in sales, though, is usually between 20-30%. What is a good commission rate for sales?

There is no such thing as a typical sales commission on anything. This is something that has to be determined between sales person and company hiring the sales person to make sales.
