Prepaid24 - Un Answered Questions On Invoices Calculation.

1. PREPAID24 Invoices firstly arrive as and editable document! Why is that?? 2. After doing many calculations to check the 15% VAT charge - the VAT sum doesn't work out correctly and is over charged based on my calculation - after also considering deductions of course. 3. The total amount spent by the customer (before deductions) does not appear on the invoice. Why is that?? 4. No one at PREPAID24 help center understands how the invoice is summed up? Why is that?? After being told by PREPAID24 I need to contact City Power, no one at City Power knows how invoices are summed up either! I get passed on from department to department each one as ******** as the one before. To PREPAID24 - My question is, why are PREPAID24 help consultants ******** of how invoices are calculated causing them to pass the buck?? I have been told that it is not PREPAID24 who generate the invoice - however - I feel it is the business of PREPAID24 to know and understand every part of their business including understanding the invoicing since they are supposed to be supplying a "service".

PREPAID24 gets on star from me as my experience with with the actual help consultants has been very disappointing. So called Help Consultants are generally ******** about anything from my experice. I hope these comments will help and encourage PREPAID24 to improve the quality of their Help Service and thus the quality of their emplyees. Thank you.

Hi Emil, 

I hope you are well. 

Please find the necessary answers to each of your questions: 

1. Kindly note that is the format that our system works with. Our system is not programmed to send any other formats for your tokens slips. Please note that we do not edit anything on the slip as this is what we received from your municipality and the email gets sent to you as soon as your transaction processes. This is a internal procedure between our system and the municipality. We do not manually interfere with this procedure. 


2. The VAT amount is correct on your slip as the fixed charge is based on VAT inclusive. This means that VAT gets deducted from the fixed cost as well. (This is done by your municipality not Prepaid24) 

Please find calculation below: 

  •  R1778 (Amount left after fixed cost deduction) / 1.15 (VAT) = R1546.0869

     R1778 - R1546.0869 = R231.9130


  • R200 (fixed cost) / 1.15 (VAT) = R173.9130

     R200 - R173.9130 = R26.0869


  • R231.9130 + R26.0869 = R257.9999 (round off to R258) 

Therefore - R258 is the VAT which was deducted on your slip. 

3. Unfortunately, we cannot amend how the system generates the slip received from the municipality. If there are no deductions, the total amount paid by client reflects next to "total" on the slip. In this case, you had deductions which means the total is what is left after your deductions (excl. VAT). 

We do apologize for the lack of assistance you received regarding your calculation query and we will strive to do better in terms of understanding and explaining what is requested from a Prepaid24 client. 

With the above being explained and said, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. 

Should you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. 

 Have a wonderful day further! 

Yours Sincerely, 
Zeeta - The Prepaid24Team
