How South Africa VAT works

South Africa charges VAT at a standard rate of 15%. Some supplies are zero-rated or exempt under SARS rules. Add VAT: Gross = Net × 1.15. Example: R1,000 → R150 VAT → R1,150. Remove VAT: Net = Gross ÷ 1.15. VAT vendors must issue tax invoices with prescribed particulars. Calculate here first, then create a ZAR invoice with InvoBuzz.

Reverse charge & inclusive prices

Imported services may attract reverse-charge VAT for South African recipients in certain cases. Check SARS guidance.

Invoice requirements

A South African tax invoice must generally include: supplier VAT number, invoice number/date, recipient details when required, description, VAT exclusive amount, VAT amount, and total.
