Irrecoverable debts - example
A shop (category C vendor) sells items with 6 months to pay policy,
where an amount is settled every month.
Sale in Jan 2023 at R1 150. R150 output paid to SARS in Jan VAT 201.
Payments of R191,67 received for Jan, Feb and March but debtor is
untraceable after that and debt is written off.
SOLUTION:
Remaining debt at the end of March = R1 150 - (191,67 x 3) = R575
Of this R75 relates to VAT (R575 x 15/115).
A R75 VAT input can be claimed to recover the R75 of the initial output
VAT that will not be paid back.
