" Thanks very much for all your answers. I think it is quite clear now: The SETAs are Zero rate for VAT and any invoices raise against them must be without VAT. Any other invoices relating to the Learnership between other parties i.e Lead…"

Marie-Therese Portolan replied to Jean Henri Du Plessis's discussion VAT or No VAT on Invoice for providing training on a Learnership
"My understanding is as follows: When the party who is contracted to the SETA invoices there is no VAT applicable as you cannot charge a tax on a tax. However all the subsequent invoices raised by secondary parties have to have VAT charged on them if…"

"Hi Johan, I was not aware of this fact. So our company is registered with DHET and the Learnership is at NQF level 4. Does this mean that we are then Zero rated for VAT to provide the training for the learnership? The SETA has sent us a document…"

"It could be that someone is assuming that the learnership is an NQF level 2 or higher qualification. If it is, then the provider should by rights be a provisionally regisitered Private FET college, in which case the service…"

"Yep !! I have had this fight several times with the SETAs. The SETA claim they are not a VAT vendor so you will never get VAT from them. You on the other hand are probably registered for VAT - so then you have to claim and pay VAT. What has happened…"

"We do a lot of learnership and I have always prepared qoutation with VAT, reasons for this is: the claiming for clients on TAX rebate, the VAT has to be paid to SARS. The question is did you price excluding or including VAT?"

VAT or No VAT on Invoice for providing training on a Learnership

Can anyone answer my dilemma: We are a lead training provider on an NVC learnership and now have to raise an invoice on the Lead Employer for the training services. The Lead Employer says that the invoice must be Zero rated for VAT but our auditers say that VAT must be added to the invoice. Which is correct - we don't want to fall foul of SARS?See More
