Vodacom VAT increase

Okay so this is what recently happened. I received an sms from Vodacom regarding the VAT increase. I contacted Vodacom with regards to this because i do not see how the VAT increase will affect my current contact. As far as I am aware this is unacceptable because how can my fee now increase because of that when I signed for the contact I signed in agreement with the amount which included VAT at 14%. According to customer care then increase in price is because ICASA had increased their price. So who do I actually have a contact with ICASA or Vodacom?

Good day,

Thank you for your query.

The VAT increase is a government regulated change and all South African companies have to comply with effect from 1 April 2018. This regulation is included in your terms and conditions.

All chargeable services including your contract subscription, bundle services, and out-of-bundle rates for voice, data and SMS services will all be impacted by the VAT increase.

Regards,
RM
