Invoices and records that stand up to SARS

A valid tax invoice needs the right details: supplier and customer VAT numbers, a sequential invoice number, the date, a description of the goods or services, and the VAT shown in rand. We set up your invoicing and record-keeping so every claim is supported.

  • Compliant VAT invoices, credit notes and statements
  • Digital filing of slips, invoices and bank statements
  • Records kept for the five years SARS requires
