South Africa Standard VAT Rate

Good Day

Could someone change Standard VAT Rate of South Africa from 14.00% to 15.00%.

Thank You.

Hi. you can edit the default VAT for your country in the account leader

Good Day

Thank You know you can change just thought someone could “permanently” change.

Hi @Albertus

I would not recommend changing it permanently yet as some new users who would want to import historic data would have challenges. I suggest adding 2 vat rules and the transaction can determine which vat rule to use from the rule.

kind regards

Hello all fellow South African ERPNext users

The latest version of ERPNext has just been released, v13.10. And it has a brand new South Africa feature : South Africa VAT Audit Report.

Please assess it and let us know whether it meets your requirements.

Also, please join our meetup group so we can address South African issues as a collective group : https://www.meetup.com/erpnext-south-africa/
Issues such as how to integrate PayFast and how to reference Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax tables are currently up for discussion.

Kindest regards, Eugene
