Question
Suppose a racing bicycle costs R1 525.00 excluding VAT and R1 753.75 including VAT. What is the percentage of VAT charged?
A. 15%
B. 13%
C. 14%
D. 11%
Solution
To find the VAT percentage, you need to follow these steps:
-
First, find the amount of VAT charged. This can be done by subtracting the cost of the bicycle excluding VAT from the cost including VAT.
So, R1 753.75 (including VAT) - R1 525.00 (excluding VAT) = R228.75 (VAT amount)
-
Next, to find the VAT percentage, you divide the VAT amount by the cost excluding VAT and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
So, (R228.75 / R1 525.00) * 100 = 15%
Therefore, the VAT charged is 15%, so the answer is A.15%.
