Important Info
VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT) AND TRANSFER DUTY
If the seller is registered for VAT, the sale of immovable property is subject to VAT. The current rate is 14 %. If the buyer is also a VAT registered vendor, he/she can claim the VAT back as a VAT input if the buyer was the party who paid the VAT. If the sale was VAT inclusive, then the seller will qualify to claim back the VAT.
If the seller is not a VAT registered vendor, the sale is subject to transfer duty, payable by the buyer. If the buyer is a VAT registered vendor, the transfer duty may be claimed back as a deemed VAT input.
If the immovable property is registered in the name of a company or a closed corporation, and the company or closed corporation is sold, no transfer duty is payable unless the immovable assets comprises of more than 50 % residential property.
