How to calculate VAT

11.1 Example 1: How to calculate the 15% VAT to add to the purchased amount when VAT is excluded.

  1. Expenditure for goods (VAT excluded) = R 100
  2. Vat @ 15 %: R 100 x 15% = R   15  (100 x 15÷100)

TOTAL AMOUNT PAYABLE + VAT 15%    = R 115

 

  • Example 2: How to calculate the 15% VAT if the VAT is included in the total expenditure.
  1. Expenditure for goods (VAT included)           = R 230
  2. Vat @ 15 %: R 230 x (15÷115) = R 30

TOTAL COST with VAT EXCLUDED                      = R 200
