Notes

Input tax is included in the VAT201 working calculation only when “prescribed evidence held” is checked. VAT-only classifications use the Amount field directly as VAT.

Why EasyVAT is different

The module is a control layer between source documents and eFiling, not a replacement for SARS.

Evidence-aware claims

Unverified input tax is surfaced but excluded from the working claim.

Direct VAT201 traceability

Every transaction maps to a named VAT201 field.

Suite reconciliation

Pulls compatible local Easy Invoice and Easy Expenses data where available.

Period controls

Lock completed working papers to reduce accidental post-review edits.

EasyVAT is a preparation and reconciliation tool. Tax treatment can depend on facts and legislation. Verify unusual transactions and the final VAT201 in SARS eFiling or with a qualified tax practitioner.
