SARS, VAT and Tax Compliance in Dynamics 365

The recurring obligations

The ledger has to support the filings that recur.

VAT201 returns at 15 per cent standard rate, with zero-rated and exempt supplies kept distinct, on the vendor's filing category

EMP201 monthly employer declarations

Provisional tax (IRP6) twice a year, with an optional top-up

Annual income tax returns and the supporting schedules

Withholding taxes on certain cross-border payments

What the ledger has to record

Tax treatment per line: standard, zero-rated, exempt, out of scope, and capital goods. Input tax supported by valid tax invoices. Import VAT recorded from the customs documents. Foreign-currency transactions translated at documented rates. The ability to rebuild every figure on the return from the underlying transactions.

Where South African e-invoicing stands

Several African authorities require invoices to be submitted in real time. DigiTaxFlow 365 lists those authorities, and South Africa is not among its current connectors. We track SARS developments and design the posting process so a submission step can be added without redesigning the ledger. Check the current position with SARS before committing to a date.

Our setup checklist

This is the order we configure and test in, so the first return from the new system is one you can check line by line.

Default tax codes from the item, vendor or customer

Configure import VAT and foreign-currency handling

Reconcile the VAT control account monthly, not at filing time

Parallel-run one period and reconcile to the legacy return

Agree period lock procedures with finance and your tax practitioner
