VAT rate on tablets depends on a statutory price threshold; lower rate applies below the threshold, higher rate above.
The Third Schedule was amended to treat computers, telephones, parts, mobile phones and mobile accessories as a single commodity entry and to apply a two-tier VAT rate: items priced up to the prescribed threshold attract VAT at 5% and items priced above that threshold attract VAT at 12.5%; suppliers must apply the rate based on the transaction price in accordance with the substituted Schedule.
