Introduction
South Africa has a destination-based VAT system. It essentially seeks to tax consumption of goods/services in South Africa.
Where goods or services move between tax jurisdictions it is therefore essential to have rules to determine in which jurisdiction taxing rights can be exercised.
As can be expected the VAT rules dealing with the international movement of goods or services are closely linked to the rules governing Customs and Excise, Exchange Control, and rules governing international trade.
This course aims to provide the learner with a deeper understanding of the relevant rules governing international trade from a Customs and VAT perspective and the links to other regulatory frameworks.
We attempted to present the content as practical as possible while not deviating from the technical foundation of the subject matter. We trust that this course will assist to reduce the level of uncertainty in this critical area of business.
