The VAT threshold just doubled to R2.3 million — but deregistering isn't automatically the right call.
Before you act, check what you're currently recovering in input credits, how your VAT invoices affect your clients' own tax position, and whether your books are clean enough to survive a SARS audit of the period leading up to deregistration.
If deregistration does make sense, the process is straightforward — VAT 123e to SARS, agree an effective date, file your final return, account for output tax on remaining assets. But the decision behind it needs more than a quick calculation.
