You unfortunately can't use the income tax number to charge VAT with.

Thank you, can you also tell me what percentage of my sales I should put aside in order to pay tax over to SARS?

Your company will need to pay tax at a rate of 28% on its overall profit for the year. You can work out the profit by deducting all business expenses from the company's sales amount. Remember too, that the salary you pay yourself will also be a business deductible expense. Assuming you draw a salary, you will need to register the company for PAYE and UIF too.

You will need to register the company for provisional tax and pay tax twice a year on the company's estimated profit.
