Frequently asked questions
I'm registered but under R2.3 million. Must I stay registered?
No. You can apply to deregister, but you must pay exit VAT on assets and stock you claimed input VAT on.
Did the VAT rate go up?
No. The proposed increase to 15.5% was withdrawn in 2025. The rate is still 15%.
