Are you a VAT vendor? If so, look no further than this all-inclusive guide to every question you ever wanted answered on this tax.
As a taxpayer, you often pay over more to the Receiver than required, and nowhere is this more evident than in the payment of Value Added Tax.
If you are one of the thousands of VAT vendors in South Africa who are obliged to prepare a VAT return every two months, you need to read this book.
For although the process seems very simple - record the VAT paid in respect of producing your product or service, subtract from this the VAT received in respect of your product or service, and pay the balance over to the Receiver - in practice it is rather more complex, as certain rules apply to what you can and cannot claim as a legitimate amount, and on imports and exports related to your business.
Tax consultants, who service several returns at a time, rush through the work, with the result that large amounts often get overlooked through ignorance or haste and millions of rands go unclaimed, or are paid over to the Receiver unnecessarily.
But help is now at hand with The VAT Handbook, your essential guide on all matters concerning this tax. Complex concepts are simplified by using real-life examples, and legalese is translated into accessible, easy-to-understand language. The VAT Handbook is relevant to all VAT vendors, from the novice to the professional, and also includes a summary of the VAT Act and samples of VAT forms.
