A Spaza shop is something that evolved in our townships where a householder simply trades groceries etc. from a room in the dwelling. They sometimes occupy separate buildings, or add-on buidings, sometimes even a shipping container, in the informal settlements (shack developments.) They are cash businesses and generally are not registered with the Revenue department. A business with a turnover of (used to be!) less than R250,000 can register for VAT but is not obliged to -- but I doubt if anyone knows just how much a Spaza shop may be turning over.
