How VAT Works In South Africa (2025)
Understanding VAT Calculations
- Adding VAT: When you need to add VAT to a price, multiply the base amount by (1 + VAT rate). For South Africa's 15% rate: Amount × 1.15
- Removing VAT: To find the price excluding VAT from a VAT-inclusive price, divide by (1 + VAT rate). For 15%: Amount ÷ 1.15
- VAT Amount: The VAT portion alone is calculated as: (Total Amount × VAT Rate) ÷ (1 + VAT Rate)
Quick Examples
- Add VAT: R100 + 15% VAT = R115.00
- Remove VAT: R115.00 ÷ 1.15 = R100
