SARS VAT201-ready
Built for SARS, ready for the 2028 e-invoicing mandate
VAT201 XML export, reverse charge handling, SARS eFiling integration, and Peppol infrastructure pre-built for when the mandate arrives.
Mandatory "TAX INVOICE" heading, VAT vendor number, buyer name and address above ZAR 5 000, sequential invoice numbers, 15% VAT per-line. Compliant with VAT Act 89 of 1991 and SARS VAT411 guide.
Standard 15%, zero-rated (exports, basic foodstuffs, fuel levy goods, educational services), exempt (residential rent, financial services, public road/rail transport). RC (reverse charge on imported services per s7(1)(c)).
Generate SARS VAT201-compatible XML and CSV for direct upload to the eFiling portal. Field 1 (standard-rated), Field 2 (zero-rated), Field 3 (exempt), Field 12 (output VAT), Field 15 (input credits), Field 20 (net VAT).
VAT vendor number format check (10-digit, starts with 4) on organisation setup. Direct link to the SARS eFiling VAT Vendor Search for live registration verification. Full SARS API integration follows the 2026–2028 mandate.
SA VAT Act s7(1)(c): where the customer is ZA-resident and the supplier is foreign, the line is flagged RC. Output VAT (Field 12) and the matching input credit (Field 15) are both calculated — net zero for fully claimable imported services.
Multiple South African entities with separate VAT registrations, company reg numbers, and filing periods. Each entity generates its own VAT201 return; consolidation reporting is on the roadmap.
XML downloads to your machine and opens the SARS eFiling upload URL in a new tab — the fastest manual-upload path. CSV is provided for VAT201 capture screen entry. SARS has no public lodge API as of 2026.
SARS is piloting a mandatory B2B e-invoicing mandate (2026–2028 timeline). The data model, VAT engine, and Peppol infrastructure are pre-built — activation requires no migration when the mandate goes live.
SA public-holiday aware escalation (Human Rights Day, Freedom Day, Heritage Day, Day of Reconciliation). ZAR payment terms. Net-30 default per industry norms; configurable.
ZAR-native tiers. VAT compliance in every tier.
Frequently asked
SARS does not provide a public machine-to-machine API for VAT201 lodgement (the eFiling system is browser-only). Generate the VAT201 XML from Reports → VAT201, download it, then upload via the SARS eFiling portal at efiling.sars.gov.za. A direct link to the upload page is included in the export.
Under SA VAT Act s7(1)(c), ZA-resident recipients of imported services must self-account for VAT. Mark the supplier as foreign and the line tax group as "RC (Reverse Charge)". The system generates both the output VAT (Field 12) and a matching input credit (Field 15) — net effect is zero for fully claimable imported services.
Yes. Mandatory fields: "TAX INVOICE" heading, full supplier name + address + VAT number, invoice date and sequential number, buyer details (name + address required above ZAR 5 000), per-line description + quantity + unit price + VAT rate, total excluding VAT, VAT amount, and total including VAT.
The underlying Peppol (PINT) infrastructure is already built. When SARS finalises the technical specification, activating e-invoicing will be a configuration change — no data migration or re-implementation required.
No — South African Rand uses 2 decimal places. All VAT calculations and export amounts are in cents/ZAR with 2 decimal display, consistent with SARS eFiling requirements.
Yes. Multi-organisation on the Pro tier. Each entity is country-scoped — a ZA entity sees VAT201 reports and the ZA VAT engine; an AU entity sees BAS and GST. Currencies (ZAR, AUD, NZD) are kept strictly separate.
