SU is registered for VAT and should, therefore, comply with the VAT Act (Act 89 of 1991). The VAT implications should be considered during the project proposal phase in order to incorporate these in the budget as well as in the contract amount.
The Financial Policy (section 3.1) provides the financial guidelines (as specified by the Act) that are applicable when SU wants to institute a claim for VAT, the method used to determine a cost centre's VAT claim percentage and for the issuing of invoices.
