VAT made clear

VAT accounting for South African VAT vendors

SUM Books works out VAT on your invoices, bills and expenses, so the figures you need for your VAT201 return are ready when you are.

VAT calculated as you work

Set your VAT registration once. VAT is applied to sales and purchases using the rate in force on the document date.

  • Output VAT on invoices, input VAT on supplier bills and expenses
  • VAT rates stored by effective date, so old documents keep the rate they were issued with
  • VAT report showing the totals for a period
  • Share access with your accountant to review before you file

Common questions

Does SUM Books submit my VAT201 to SARS?
No. SUM Books prepares the figures in a VAT report; you or your accountant submit the return on SARS eFiling.
What if my business is not a VAT vendor?
VAT is simply left off your documents. You can switch it on later if you register.
