FAQs about VAT Recovery Services Answered by MyVAT.co.za Experts

When it comes to Value Added Tax (VAT), many businesses are unsure of how the process works, especially when it comes to recovering VAT they’ve paid out. To shed light on this complex topic, our team at MyVAT.co.za has compiled a list of frequently asked questions. We hope this guide offers clarity and helps you better understand how My VAT can assist you with VAT recovery.

What is VAT Recovery?

VAT recovery is the process of reclaiming the Value Added Tax that businesses have paid on goods and services in the course of their operations. This could be VAT paid on travel expenses, equipment purchases, or other business-related expenses.

Why should a business consider using VAT recovery services?

There are several reasons:

  1. Financial Benefits: Many businesses miss out on significant sums of money by not claiming back the VAT they are entitled to. This could mean a substantial financial injection back into your business.
  2. Complexity: Navigating VAT laws, especially when dealing with international transactions, can be complex and time-consuming. Professional services like My VAT ensure that claims are accurate and compliant.
  3. Time-saving: Instead of spending hours trying to figure out how to recover VAT, businesses can focus on their core operations while experts handle their VAT claims.

What type of expenses can I reclaim VAT on?
