VAT 15% from 1 April 2018

National Treasury has announced 1 April 2018 as the effective date for VAT increase to 15%.
However, this does not mean a blanket increase to 15% on 1 April 2018, the position is more complex than that.
To illustrate, consider metro accounts, which may be metered on 20 March 2018, but only billed after 1 April 2018.  Obviously, a more involved position will obtain in this case.
Or, an invoice issued before 1 April 2018 with 14% VAT, with reversals after that date.  The VAT is transaction specific, and in the event of a reversal will be at 14% even after 1 April 2018.
