🇿🇦 Is Your Invoice Legally Compliant with SARS?

Under Section 20 of the South African Value-Added Tax (VAT) Act, issuing an improper invoice can lead to delayed client payments or denied input VAT claims. InvoiceX ensures every PDF generated meets exact South African Revenue Service requirements out of the box.

Mandatory Section 20 Compliance Checklist:

• Prominent Label: The words "Tax Invoice" displayed clearly at the top.
• Supplier Information: Your business name, trading address, registration number, and 10-digit VAT number.
• Recipient Information: Customer full name, address, and VAT number (required for supplies over R5,000).
• Audit Trail Essentials: A unique, sequential Invoice Number and Issue Date.
• Itemised Breakdown: Quantities, unit descriptions, and individual line amounts.
• 15% VAT Calculation: Separate tax calculations showing subtotal, total 15% output VAT, and final gross ZAR total.
• Settlement Details: EFT banking details (Bank, Account No., Branch Code, Reference) and payment terms.

💡 Full vs. Abridged Tax Invoices: What You Need to Know

According to SARS guidelines, the required detail depends on the transaction value:

• Full Tax Invoice (Over R5,000): Must contain the recipient’s registered company name, physical address, and corporate VAT registration number.
• Abridged Tax Invoice (Under R5,000): Can be issued without the recipient's VAT number, but must still display the words "Tax Invoice", your supplier VAT number, and exact 15% VAT line calculations.

InvoiceX automatically adjusts formatting based on the total ZAR value and fields you enter, ensuring you stay audit-ready.
