Die belasting op toegevoegde waarde bepalings met betrekking tot klein ondernemings en handelaars

M.Com. (Tax) / The study is an examination of the special VAT provisions relating to small businesses in terms of the Value Added Tax Act no 89 of 1991. The special provisions relating to retailers as applied in the United Kingdom and other countries are also examined. The study identifies problems that a small business encounters as a result of the VAT requirements set out in the Value Added Tax Act as well as problems arising from the specific circumstances in which a small business finds itself. The special VAT provisions in South Africa are compared with the provisions in the United Kingdom and other countries. Certain recommendations are made by the author regarding these special provisions. It is important that these special provisions are stated simply and clearly to provide a VAT system with few exceptions to the basic rules. However, the Act must cater for the small business and provide choices that will suit the circumstances of the small business. Certain countries provide special schemes for retailers. The different schemes are identified and the study determines whether these schemes are appropriate in the South African context. The study comes to the conclusion that it is not necessary to have special schemes restricted only to retailers. A common treatment for small businesses and retailers must be the aim of the legislators. The Act must be formulated in such a manner that the circumstances of small businesses and retailers and the accompanying problems encountered by them are taken into account in the legislation.
