Paying for International SaaS Are These Fees Recoverable?
Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2026 7:54 pm
Hi everyone,
I recently signed up for a high-end image detection tool and some professional SEO software to help grow my online brand. These services are based overseas, but I noticed a local tax charge on my invoice this month.
I’m wondering if I can include these in my regular business expenses to lower my overall tax burden. It’s a bit of a gray area for me since the service is entirely cloud-based. I need to find out exactly how to calculate VAT on electronic services South Africa to keep my ledgers accurate and professional.
Thanks in advance.
