Value-Added Tax or VAT is an indirect taxation on the consumption of food, goods and services by vendors in our economy. This means the tax is not directly deducted from income but rather levied on services or goods rendered by companies. As such, any company in South Africa, that is registered for VAT is obliged to add an extra 14% to the price of the products or services it offers. This 14% tax is payable to SARS as VAT and is deductible from most company expenses, i.e. rental and transport fees.
The two types of VAT that a company can register for:
1. Voluntary VAT registration
As part of our services, our company can register your new company for VAT without delay, you only have to provide us with invoices, accompanied by a certified bank statement that amounts to R 50 000 or more.
