SARS has published a discussion paper on its intended modernisation of the VAT collection system which will ultimately make VAT reporting faster and more transparent.
In this article, Joon Chong, partner at Webber Wentzel, delves deeper into developments.
In the 2023 Budget, the Minister of Finance announced that the South African Revenue Service (SARS) would shortly begin to modernise the VAT collection system – in consultation with affected parties.
