Frequently asked questions
What VAT rate is used?
The default rate is 15% for the South African standard VAT rate; the page also lets you change the rate for scenario calculations.
Can every transaction use the standard rate?
No. Some supplies can be zero-rated or exempt, so the standard-rate calculation is not appropriate for every transaction.
Is this tax advice?
No. It is a mathematical calculator and does not determine the VAT treatment of a specific transaction.
