3.8.7 Registration
A person can register for VAT only if that person is carrying on an enterprise. The term “enterprise” basically includes any activity carried on continuously or regularly by any person in South Africa or partly in South Africa which involves the supply of goods or services for a “consideration” to another person, whether or not that enterprise or activity is carried on for profit. (a) Compulsory registration Any person who carries on an enterprise will be liable for compulsory VAT registration if the total value of taxable supplies (taxable turnover) made in the course of carrying on that enterprise has exceeded R1 million in any consecutive 12-month period, or will exceed that amount within the next 12-month period in terms of a written contractual obligation. The R1 million compulsory VAT registration threshold applies to the total value of taxable supplies (turnover) and not the net income (profit) that a business has made for the period. An application to register in these cases must be submitted within 21 business days reckoned from the first day of the month after the threshold was exceeded, or the contract was entered into (as the case may be). Non-resident suppliers of any “electronic services” prescribed in The Electronic Services Regulation 70 , that meet certain minimum requirements are required to register for VAT in South Africa at the end of any month in which the total value of taxable supplies has exceeded R1 million. 71 With effect from 1 June 2014, such non-resident suppliers are required to register for VAT if at least two out of the following three circumstances are present: 1. Electronic services are supplied to recipients who are South African residents. 2. Payment for the electronic services originates from a South African bank account. 3. The recipient of the electronic services has a business address, residential address or postal address in South Africa to which the invoice for such services will be sent. For more information on “electronic services”, refer to the Frequently Asked Questions: Supplies of Electronic Services on the SARS website. Download 0.78 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
