- The South African government has recently announced that proposed changes to the VAT treatment of electronic services will be released for public comment. Currently, non-resident suppliers of electronic services to South African residents must register for VAT if their services exceed ZAR 1 million in a year. The new amendments aim to simplify VAT rules, especially for business-to-business (B2B) transactions, by exempting services provided by non-residents to registered South African vendors. However, these changes won’t take effect until April 2025.
