π‘π Did You Know? ππ‘
Not everything you buy or pay for in South Africa includes VAT!
Some goods and services are zero-rated or VAT-exempt, which means VAT is either charged at 0% or not charged at all.
Examples include:
β Certain basic food items (such as brown bread, maize meal, rice, and vegetables)
β Public transport services
β Some educational services
β Certain financial services
Understanding which items and services are VAT-exempt or zero-rated can help businesses stay compliant and ensure VAT is calculated correctly.
