Value Added Tax
VAT registration
Value-added Tax (VAT) vendors are required to declare to SARS the difference between VAT incurred, and VAT charged to customers. The VAT calculation is a key aspect of business accounting – especially for small businesses – and it must be done as part of the monthly accounting process.
- Value-Added Tax (VAT) is levied at 15% on the supply (and import) of most goods and services. VAT registration is mandatory for any business with a turnover in excess of R1 million within any twelve-month period. Voluntary registration is possible as soon as turnover exceeds R50,000 within any six-month period. From 1 March 2012, qualifying micro businesses registered for Turnover Tax may also register for VAT.
- LouwCooper helps companies to decide whether to become voluntary VAT vendors and we are experienced in registering qualifying businesses efficiently. We further submit returns and payments on time; issue tax invoices for supplies made; maintain adequate records; facilitate monthly/ bi-monthly payments, etc.
