What is the current VAT rate in South Africa?

The current Value-Added Tax (VAT) rate in South Africa is 15%, which was implemented on 1 April 2018. Our calculator uses this 15% rate by default.

How do I calculate VAT manually (Add 15%)?

To add 15% VAT to an amount, multiply the exclusive amount by 1.15. For example: R100 x 1.15 = R115.

How do I reverse calculate VAT (Remove 15%)?

To extract the VAT amount from a price that already includes VAT, divide the total amount by 1.15. For example, if a product costs R115, the VAT-exclusive amount is R115 ÷ 1.15 = R100.
