VAT Increase Effective 1 May 2025 – Prepare with Itensity
South Africa’s VAT rate will increase from 15% to 15.5% on 1 May 2025.
To help our clients navigate this change, Itensity has released a new financial report designed to simplify decision-making around pricing adjustments.
What Does This Mean for You?
The VAT increase may require you to adjust your membership pricing slightly to maintain your current income. For example:
A R100/month membership with a 0.5% increase becomes R100.50
Our tool also gives you rounded options (up, down, or to the nearest rand)
New Financial Report Tool
We’ve introduced a report that helps you:
See projected income based on different price increase percentages
Simulate impacts across your active membership base
Compare options using rounding methods for cleaner pricing
📊 How to Access:
Reports > Finance Reports > Price Increase Prediction
Want to Adjust Your Prices?
If you’d like us to apply a percentage increase:
Let us know your preferred percentage
Indicate your rounding preference (if applicable)
We’ll apply this across all existing tariffs and active memberships.
⚠️ Deadline for Requests: 17 April 2025
This ensures we apply the changes before the VAT increase takes effect.
Please note: While Itensity will update the system, you are still responsible for notifying your members of any pricing changes.
