VAT

How VAT works in Sudan

Sudan's standard VAT is reported at around 17%, with exports zero-rated and a broad list of staple foods, medicine, health, education and financial services exempt. Given the disruption on the ground, bookeeper treats figures as indicative and easy to correct.

Figures for Sudan are indicative and change frequently — confirm current rates with a local advisor. bookeeper makes every rate easy to update.
