How South African VAT works
The standard VAT rate in South Africa is 15%. Businesses with taxable turnover above R2,300,000 per year must register for VAT (compulsory threshold, effective 1 April 2026). Voluntary registration is available from R120,000 per year.
- To add VAT: multiply the net amount by 1.15.
- To extract VAT from a gross price: divide by 1.15 to get the net, then subtract.
