About South African VAT

Value-Added Tax (VAT) in South Africa is currently set at a standard rate of 15%. It is an indirect tax on the consumption of goods and services in the economy.

How to calculate VAT

  • To add VAT (15%): Multiply the exclusive amount by 1.15.
  • To remove VAT (15%): Divide the inclusive amount by 1.15.
  • To find the VAT amount: Multiply the exclusive amount by 0.15, or multiply the inclusive amount by 15/115.

Certain goods and services in South Africa are zero-rated (0% VAT) or exempt from VAT, such as basic food items, residential rental accommodation, and public transport. Always consult with a registered tax practitioner for official financial advice.
