Questions people ask

What is the VAT rate in South Africa?

The standard rate is 15%. Some goods and services are zero-rated or exempt, so check the South African Revenue Service for your item.

How do I remove VAT from a price?

Divide the price by 1.150. For example R115.00 ÷ 1.150 = R100.00 before VAT, so the VAT is R15.00. Taking 15% off the total gives the wrong answer.
