Below is How To Add VAT In South Africa
If you want to add VAT to the price, you just need to divide the price by 100 and then multiply by (100 + VAT rate).
That’s all, you got the price including VAT – Gross price.
How do you calculate VAT example?
So for example, if you marked up your product by 20%, you would sell it at R120 + VAT. This is calculated as R100 x 1.20 = R120. The full selling price you would charge would be R138 (R100 x 1.20 x 1.15).
This is actually the same as R115 x 1.20 (the 20% mark-up percentage).
How do I add VAT to a price?
