The recurring obligations
The ledger has to support the filings that recur.
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.
How an engagement runs
It starts with a 45-minute consultation, then a discovery and fit-gap workshop on your own processes. You receive a written fit-gap and a phased plan before a programme is agreed. Four phases follow, each with something you can use and review.

Do we have to submit invoices to SARS in real time?
Not at present according to the DigiTaxFlow 365 country list. Confirm the current position with SARS.
