Local VAT, imported goods and imported services
These scenarios have different inputs in the VAT calculator. A goods purchase may require values that do not appear on an ordinary local receipt, while imported services have their own treatment. Select the case before entering a price, and keep any amounts already paid visible when checking the total. The tax estimate is not automatically the complete landed cost or the amount of recoverable input tax.
Annual tax and a PAYE estimate
The income tool includes the supported tax year, rebates, retirement deductions and medical-credit inputs. Match those entries to the year and taxpayer circumstances rather than copying a deduction from another person’s payslip. Review tax liability separately from take-home pay. If you change an input to compare two offers, keep the same period and explain any differences in benefits or deductions before interpreting the resulting net amounts.
