E-TAXLINE The transition from a 14% to 15% VAT rate
The South African Minister of Finance (at the time), Malusi Gigaba introduced an amended Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate on 21 February 2018 in the annual Budget speech. The increase is lower than predicted from 14% to 15% with an effective date 1 April 2018. From the effective date, 1 April 2018, vendors will have to ensure that they comply with the change in rate. Vendors should carefully consider the complexities that could arise in system set-ups and complex transactions.

E-TAXLINE Tax statistics tell a story in challenging times!
The 2017 Tax Statistics publication for South Africa was released by SARS and National Treasury in December 2017. On the one hand, this publication tells a success story of Tax revenue collection which has more than doubled in the past decade, growing from R572.8 billion collected in 2007/08 to R1 144.1 billion in 2016/17. On the other hand, it certainly has been challenging times for taxpayers. More specifically, companies have experienced many difficult tax times in the past 10 years.
