Daffodils Motors (Pty) Ltd, a motor dealer in South Africa, purchased second-hand moveable goods, a blue Nissan
Question:
Daffodils Motors (Pty) Ltd, a motor dealer in South Africa, purchased second-hand moveable goods, a blue Nissan X-Trail, from a non-vendor for R11 500. The company is a registered VAT vendor. The company intended to sell the Nissan in South Africa within a week. After numerous attempts to sell the Nissan in South Africa, the company decided to export the vehicle as second-hand moveable goods to Zimbabwe. The company decided that a markup of R3 500 (excluding VAT) is enough to export this Nissan to Zimbabwe.
SARS’s VAT404 guide indicates that where second-hand goods are acquired from a registered vendor under a taxable supply, notional input tax is not deducted, but rather a normal input tax deduction supported by a tax invoice.
Daffodils Motors (Pty) Ltd’s bookkeeper does not fully understand the current VAT legislation and asked you to advise him on the VAT implications.
Required:
Where applicable, show all calculations.
1.1. Will the company be allowed to claim a notional input tax on the second-hand moveable goods to be exported? In your own words, explain to the bookkeeper all the VAT implications for this export?
1.2. If the company can claim a notional input tax, then calculate the notional input tax on the acquisition of a second-hand motor vehicle from a non-vendor?
1.3. Calculate the export selling price, VAT included, of the Nissan?
1.4. What consideration information must be stated on the tax invoice to be sufficient in terms of the legislation?
